Bengali Language: Rohingya and Burmese

bengali language: The Burmese don't even recognize the Rohingya's distinct identity and usually refer to them as Bengalis or Bangladeshis, according to Rabble. Many Rohingya probably did come, originally, from what is now Bangladesh, Burma's western neighbour. In fact, most Rohingya, whose community is centred in the poor coastal state of Rakhine, do not have Burmese citizenship. Like the Bangladeshis, they speak the Bengali language and practice the religion of Islam. They have virtually no rights in Burma. To a good many of the Buddhist Burmese majority the Rohingya are, quite simply, interlopers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
