Rohingya translation services
Rohingya is an Indo-Aryan language of Rakhine State in Myanmar, closely related to Chittagonian across the border in south-eastern Bangladesh. Two questions decide a Rohingya brief before any other: which script the audience can actually read, and whether the audience reads at all.
Tell us your language pair and project scope so we can discuss relevant experience.
Hanifi Rohingya RTL
Confirmed on brief is reviewed against audience, script, dialect, content type, and proof need before work is planned.
Check service fitWhat do you need in Rohingya, and by when?
Three details are enough for us to check who is available and send a written quote.
Which language pair
The other language and the direction, for example English to Rohingya. Add the regional variety your audience reads, if you know it.
How much, and by when
The volume in pages, words, minutes or hours, and the date you need it. We confirm the delivery date in writing after we have seen the brief.
Rohingya language and service coverage
Confirmed on brief
Written Rohingya literacy is far narrower than spoken use, so a printed notice can reach fewer people than a recorded or interpreted version of the same message.
MoniSa scopes Rohingya by confirming the script convention, the reading position of the audience, and the setting the work belongs to. Where a written file would not reach the people it is meant for, interpreted or recorded delivery is scoped instead of it.

Rohingya translation in practice
For Rohingya work, we confirm the language variety, writing direction, key terms, and reviewer against your audience and files before work starts.
Rohingya translation depends on audience, script, and review fit
Rohingya is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language of Rakhine State in Myanmar, closely related to Chittagonian spoken across the border in south-eastern Bangladesh, and it is not a variety of Burmese, which belongs to a different family entirely. It has been written in several systems: the purpose-built Hanifi Rohingya script, Arabic script, Burmese script, and a Latin transliteration. Because written literacy is far narrower than spoken use, the practical question on most Rohingya programmes is not which script to typeset but whether typesetting reaches anyone at all.
We confirm the language variety, subject matter, review approach and timing for Rohingya during project scoping. We check the proposed linguists for the variety and domain the work needs.

- Rohingya has been written in several systems: the purpose-built Hanifi Rohingya script, Arabic script, Burmese script, and a Latin transliteration, so which one a reader can use is a project decision rather than a default
- Written Rohingya literacy is far narrower than spoken use, so a printed notice can reach fewer people than a recorded or interpreted version of the same message
Humanitarian and displacement response programmes
Registration, health and protection messaging has to reach an audience that mostly listens rather than reads, so the deliverable is often audio or an interpreted session rather than a document.
Immigration court proceedings
Hearings, interviews and representation meetings are booked as interpreted sessions with a date attached, and the register of the session matters as much as the language.
Hospitals and community clinics
Appointments, consent conversations and follow-up calls need an interpreter on site, on video or on the phone, with the script question deferred entirely because nothing is being written.
Speech and language data programmes
Rohingya is thinly represented in existing datasets, and the script variation means collection and transcription decisions have to be fixed in the specification rather than left to the annotator.
How MoniSa QA works for Rohingya translation
Rohingya work runs through the same three-stage review MoniSa applies to any language: a qualified linguist produces, a second reviews against the source, and a final check confirms the result fits the script convention and the register the audience needs. Written translation is delivered under ISO 17100 certification, which covers translation services; live interpreting is delivered under ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification. Scarce coverage does not lower the review bar.
-
Step 1
Decide the channel before the script
A Rohingya brief starts with who has to receive the message and how they will receive it. If the audience is largely non-reading, the deliverable is scoped as audio or as an interpreted session, and the script question does not arise. If it is written, the script convention is fixed in the brief before production.
-
Step 2
Screen for the setting the work comes from
Assignment adds a language check in the pair and a domain screen against the setting the work comes from, so clinical, legal and protection registers are treated as separate qualifications. Everyone who touches the work signs the confidentiality agreement before receiving access.
-
Step 3
Deliver with the channel and the route recorded
Written Rohingya work is reviewed by a second qualified linguist before release, under MoniSa's ISO 17100 certification, which covers translation services, and the script convention is confirmed as part of that review. Live sessions are confirmed with the modality and named backup coverage recorded in writing.
Channel decided against the audience
The brief records whether the audience reads, and in which script, before a format is chosen, so a written deliverable is never the default answer to a spoken problem.
Heightened handling for sensitive material
Protection, immigration and clinical content is treated as high-sensitivity personal data, with access scoped to the assignment and removed when it closes.
No published provenance
MoniSa publishes coverage and review depth for Rohingya, and does not publish where or through whom its Rohingya linguists are found. For this language that is a safety control, not a commercial one.
Do I need Rohingya interpreting or Rohingya translation?
For a live conversation, include the working language pair, setting, date and duration. Interpreting is booked separately from written translation. Written translation is quoted as content; live interpreting is booked by session time.
Confirm the required variety: Rakhine State Rohingya, Cross-border Rohingya close to Chittagonian. The proposed interpreter needs the relevant subject knowledge and session qualifications. Availability and any backup arrangements are confirmed before booking.

Rohingya questions
What script is Rohingya written in?
Several. The purpose-built Hanifi Rohingya script, Arabic script, Burmese script, and a Latin transliteration are all in use, and which one a given audience can read is a project decision. MoniSa fixes the script convention in the brief before production rather than letting a template choose it.
Is Rohingya a dialect of Burmese?
No. Rohingya is an Indo-Aryan language and Burmese is Tibeto-Burman, so they belong to different families and are not mutually intelligible. Rohingya's closest well-documented relative is Chittagonian, spoken across the border in south-eastern Bangladesh.
Should a Rohingya message be written or recorded?
Often recorded, or interpreted live. Written Rohingya literacy is far narrower than spoken use, so a document can satisfy the request and still miss most of the intended audience. MoniSa scopes the channel against the audience before choosing a format.
Where do your Rohingya linguists come from?
MoniSa does not publish that. Naming the communities or routes through which Rohingya linguists are found would put people at risk, so the company publishes coverage, review depth and the screening a linguist passes, and keeps provenance out of public material.
Do I need Rohingya interpreting or Rohingya translation?
Rohingya translation produces written content and is scoped by file, volume and review needs. Rohingya interpreting supports a live conversation and is booked by date, duration and setting. If the assignment includes both documents and a live session, list both in the brief so each can be quoted separately.
