  In the case of Chakma, there are cases of resources, such as those hosted by 
https://github.com/kalpataruboiChakma/, using both the Bengali script and the 
Chakma script, between which maintaining correspondences in lemmata/forms with 
different representations would be useful. Having `ccp` unqualified (in line 
with the script used on Incubator) and `ccp-beng` as language codes would thus 
not be controversial in my view.
  
  In the case of Rohingya, however, there are disparate groups within the 
community that separately use the Latin <https://www.rohingyalanguage.com/> and 
Hanifi <https://www.rohingyazc.com/> scripts, and among those using the Latin 
script most outside the community (such as the Australian government 
<https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/information-in-your-language/rohingya>,
 the SBS <https://www.sbs.com.au/language/rohingya>, and even Milwaukee 
<https://mps.milwaukee.k12.wi.us/MPS-English/CFO/Nutrition/Resources/Meal-Bundle-Instructions/MealBundleInstructionsFinal1_Rohingya.pdf>)
 use the "Rohingyalish" system while some others <https://learnrohingya.com/> 
may use a somewhat different system. Because of this split in script usage, I'd 
like to avoid courting potential controversy on Wikidata by suggesting that one 
script should be preferred over the others through an unqualified language code 
(especially since the Latin script is pursued by those who may find it easier 
to disseminate for both simplicity and technical reasons). I do not plan to add 
representations for lemmata/forms in the Latin script as personally I find it a 
bit deficient in capturing some sounds in the language well, although I'm not 
against someone else later proposing the `rhg-latn` code if they can enforce 
the use of one Latin-script system over another.
