For decades, the Rohingya language was largely restricted to spoken communication, with very limited opportunities for reading and writing due to policies imposed by the Myanmar government. Despite these challenges, dedicated Rohingya scholars, particularly Maulana Hanif Rajeb Sahib, worked tirelessly to develop and adapt a writing system for the Rohingya language, aiming to promote literacy among the Rohingya community.
From the early stages of development to its digital transformation, Mr. Mohammed Noor, Director of Rvision, played a leading role in promoting and advancing the language through official collaboration with Children on the Edge and Mukti Cox’s Bazar.
After years of dedication, hard work, and overcoming numerous barriers, the vision has finally become a reality. The Rohingya Language App is now available in the Rohingya refugee camps, enabling smartphone users to learn, read, and write their mother tongue anytime and anywhere.
On 17 July 2026, the app was officially launched with the legal permission and support of the relevant authorities of Bangladesh, marking a historic milestone in the preservation and development of the Rohingya language and culture.
