The following comment was left in the article by Seinbaydah (talk · contribs) on 26 May 2012; I have moved it here.

1. Whoever says that Rakkhine or Myanmar were related to Buddha's clan was sort of making self grander; in fact, we are from Tibeto-Burman (Myanmar) stock.
2. Chittagong's true spelling in roman letters is sittat-gong that means 'head of the army' (army is sittat and gong means head in Rakkhine and Myanmar vocabulary) and that means the tactical positions of army taking place when it fought that battle. Figuratively, it was like a bird spread its wings and the head protruded forward. The head is to penetrate, the wings to squeeze from both sides; there were also functions of the body part and the tail.
3. The Rakkhine King gave this name to the town he built there after he conquered the region. (Chittagong= Sittatgong)
4. Rakkhines (Arkans) are Buddhists and have been civilised for more than two thousand years ago and they were not such pirates.
(This is how we learned from our elders by words of mouth or by verbal history .)
