The original wide version (1:2 ratio) of the Rohingya people's cultural and ethnic flag. Its use was first mentioned by Rohingya scholar and author A.F.K. Jilani, who documented its creation in the mid-20 century. The flag design is a green field charged with a render of an ancient Rohingya coin. The Arabic text on the coin is the shahada surrounded by the names of the Four Righteous Caliphs of Islam: Abu Bakar (top), Omar (bottom), Othman (left), and Ali (right). On 20 May 2018, an updated version of the flag was created by the Rohingya Language Academy and released to the public. The updated flag is currently used by Rohingya diaspora communities around the world.
