| The Rohingya people (Burmese: ရိုဟင်ဂျာ) are naturally Bengali people from Bangladesh where they originated. Some of them were brought to the Kingdom of Rakhine by the kings when they succeed the Chittagong mountain areas in 16th century; however, most of them, who are claiming the citizenship of Myanmar, crossed the Burma-Bangladesh border and settled throughout the time of military dictatorship, specifically aroun 1960-2013. They are linguistically related to the Indo-Aryan peoples of India and Bangladesh. The region of Rakhine (Arakan) was annexed and occupied by Myanmar in the 1700s, thus bringing the Rohingya people under Burmese occupation. Nearly 100000 Rohingya live in Myanmar. According to the UN, they are one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. All of the Burmese consider that Rohingya are not from Burma. They are the Bangali people who created a new story to become Burmese citizen. | The Rohingya people (Burmese: ရိုဟင်ဂျာ) are naturally Bengali people from Bangladesh where they originated.
