The Arakanese language, which is often considered a dialect of Burmese, is spoken by 730,000 people in Burma's Rakhine State and an additional 35,000 in neighboring Bangladesh. Rakhine proper can be divided into three varieties: Sittwe (about two thirds of speakers), Kyaukphyu and Thandwe. A more divergent form, Ramree (Yangbye) was spoken by another 800,000 in 1983. Including such divergent forms, the total number of Arakanese speakers is estimated to be 1.5 million to 3 million in Burma, about 200,000 in Bangladesh, and 16,000 to 32,000 in India.
