Introduction

Aa   Bb   Cc   Çç   Dd   Ee   Ff

Gg   Hh   Ii   Jj   Kk   Ll   Mm

Nn   Ññ   Oo   Pp   Qq   Rr   Ss

Tt   Uu   Vv   Ww   Xx   Yy   Zz

"c"  is pronounced as sh in shell.
"ç"  is pronounced as retroflex r in Rohingya words such as caça and naça meaning mat and closed.

"d"  is pronounced as d in Dubai.
"dh" is pronounced as d in day.
 
"t"  is pronounced as t in tooth.
"th" is pronounced as t in ten.

"ñ"  is pronounced as silent or half n such as in Rohingya words fiañs and fañs meaning onion  
     and five. Basically it gives nasal sound to the preceding consonant.

"ñy" is nasal y.
"ñg" is nasal g
"ts" is equal to sida.

"y"  is used as consonant only, not used as a semi vowel. So My must be written as Mai.

Rohingya has two sets of vowels. The first line represent (6) soft-sound (normal) vowels and, the second line (6) hard-sound (accented) vowels. The last two-letteredvowels in each line below - ou and óu - are treated as if it is a single vowel respectively. Accented vowels are always emphasized with high tone and unaccented vowels are always pronounced as soft vowels.

a    e    i    o    u    ou
á    é    í    ó    ú    óu

Each vowel gives only one sound as shown in bold in the English and Rohingya phrase below:-

"America on full tour"
"Alemi modúr houli" - meaning International Honey Center.

a  is pronounced as in the word America.
e  is pronounced as in the word Letter.
i  is pronounced as in the word India.
o  is pronounced as in the word Long.
u  is pronounced as in the word Put.
ou is pronounced as in the word Go.

Rohingya uses at least 4 circular vowels in each set. It is like adding "i" after each vowel of a, e, o, u.
You cannot add "i" to "i".)

ai  ei  oi  ui   (for soft sounds)
ái  éi  ói  úi   (for hard sounds)

For example;
Dhail (=lentil), Beil (=sun), Boi (=sit), Tui (=you) for not emphasized.
Bái (=brother), Dhéil (=tree branch), Bóin (=sister), Kúilla (=open) for emphasized.

Rohingya uses double vowels to extend the sound in three different ways such as horizontal, rising and falling. For example;

aa  horizontal elongation; example Gaa (=body). 
aá  raising up; example Gaá (=sing).
áa  falling down; example Gáa (=infections).

In Rohingya Language yes/no questions are created by adding "né" at the end of the sentense:

• Sálma'ttu bilai uggwá asé né? -- Is there a cat with Salma?
• Sálma'ttu bilai uggwá asé. -- There is a cat with Salma.
• Ói, Sálma'ttu bilai uggwá asé. -- Yes, There is a cat with Salma.

• Usman ottú bilai asé né? -- Is there cat with Usman?
• Usman ottú bilai nái. -- There is no cat with Usman.
• Nái, Usman ottú bilai nái. -- No, There is no cat with Usman.

Sálma'ttu  = 'with Salma'
uggwá      = 'a'
bilai      = 'cat'
asé né     = 'is there'
Usman ottú = 'with Usman'
nái        = 'no' or 'there is no'
