Hanifi Rohingya Letter Ta

It represents the Rohingya consonant /t/.

Like other Hanifi consonants, 𐴃 carries an inherent vowel. Vowel marks can change that vowel, and the sakin mark silences it, so the letter works as part of written Rohingya words.

Hanifi Rohingya is written from right to left. Its letter shapes draw mainly on Arabic, with some Latin and Burmese influence; it is a distinct script rather than a form of Arabic.

Why was Hanifi Rohingya created?

It was designed to represent Rohingya more clearly.

A Rohingya-language history traces the need for a writing system for the community's own dialect to the early 1960s. It says Arabic and Urdu writing did not clearly represent all the sounds needed. Hanif and colleagues developed a right-to-left alphabet based mainly on Arabic letter shapes, with some Latin and Burmese influence.

A Hanifi alphabet chart is dated February 19, 1980. The Unicode proposal also reproduces primers, arithmetic books, newspapers, and other printed material, showing the script's use for literacy and publishing.

Is Hanifi Rohingya the only way to write Rohingya?

No; Rohingya is written in several scripts.

Rohingya is also written using Arabic, Urdu, Burmese, and Latin systems. An education report documents Hanifi and Rohingyalish being used by different subgroups in camps and the diaspora. People who read Rohingya may not read every writing system equally well, so check which script a particular audience uses.

Hanifi has served as a literacy tool in primers and camp classrooms while other writing choices remain in use.
