About Hanifi Rohingya

The Hanifi Rohingya script was created in the 1980s by Mohammad Hanif and collaborators to write the Rohingya language, spoken by the Rohingya people of Myanmar's Rakhine State. Prior to this, Rohingya was written in Arabic-based scripts (Ruáingga Fonna) or the Latin alphabet.

Handifi Rohingya is written right-to-left and has been designed to accurately represent Rohingya phonology. The script was added to Unicode 11.0 in 2018. Given the displacement of the Rohingya population following the 2017 military crackdown in Myanmar, the script has been an important tool for cultural preservation in refugee camps and diaspora communities.
