They belong to the same community as the Rakhine people.

Ethnonyms Between the 17th and 18th centuries, the Rakhine began calling themselves Mranma (မြန်မာ) and its derivatives like Marama (မရမာ), as attested by texts like the ''Rakhine Min Razagyi, Minrazagri Ayedaw Sadan'' and the ''Dhanyawaddy Ayedawbon''.

Marma Language
Rakhine (; , MLCTS: ), also known as Arakanese, is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in western Myanmar, primarily in the Rakhine State, and parts of south-eastern Bangladesh. Closely related to Burmese, the language is spoken by the Rakhine and Marma peoples; it is estimated to have around one million native speakers and it is spoken as a second language by a further million. Though Arakanese has some similarity with standard Burmese, Burmese speakers find it difficult to communicate with Arakanese speakers. Thus, it is often considered to be a dialect or variety of Burmese. As there are no universally accepted criteria for distinguishing a language from a dialect, scholars and other interested parties often disagree about the linguistic, historical and social status of Arakanese. There are three dialects of Arakanese: Sittwe– Marma (about two thirds of speakers), Ramree, and Thandwe. Vocabulary While Arakanese and Standard Burmese share the majority of lexicon, Arak ...
