THE STRUGGLE OF PRESERVATION ON ROHINGYA LANGUAGE AS THE IMPACT OF MARGINALIZATION BY MYANMAR POLICY

Abstract

People Rohingya have their own language, they speak an Indo-European language of the Southeastern Bengali branch, called Ruáingga or Rohingya. Under Myanmar Policy their right to speak Rohingya is under threat. The policy of Anti-Rohingya law does not just risk their lives but also their language, and indeed this policy violates human rights. This study focuses on how the Myanmar government creates policies about the Rohingya language and what news talks about Rohingya language preservation on YouTube and how people respond to it. To answer this question, the researcher uses a qualitative method with a netnography approach.  Policy-making guidelines will be studied and the people's sentiment about language preservation will be documented and analyzed using the Python program and NVIVO 14. From news that appeared in YouTube, the researcher found that Rohingya refugees managed to keep Rohingya language alive through teaching, and digitalised Rohingya script and the responses are variatives.
