18a. AYG?I?O?
Help!

[Captain2]

Be nice to have a clue to go with it. ;))

[novalis]

It's thematic Captain. The answer is a displaced people and their language which have been in the news in the last few years. It is entered in reverse.

[Neveracrossword]

Captain, once again it's a thematic puzzle, once again this is a thematic clue. I'd have to tell you an awful lot for you to get this one...

[Captain2]

Hi hunting, looking at your previous questions, you don't seem to have grasped the way the site works. We are not all sat here with every crossword in front of us, so you have to give us all the information you have including the clue, for us to try and answer. Ta.

[Captain2]

^^^ that took me a while, so crossed posts with you both. Thanks for the info.
Still would be nice to have some inf. :))

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Captain2. It's an unclued entry - but the post from Novalis shows what's needed.

[hunting]

Yes thanks and I know all this but the answer doesn't appear anywhere in my searches. Have I got a letter wrong?

[bookbinder]

AYGNIHOR = ROHINGYA

[novalis]

Your letters are right. Try the Universal Crossword Solver.

[Toorak]

Your letters are correct -you are looking for a persecuted minority in an Asian state

Thanks.A tough unclued light that one, but all now done.

[Neveracrossword]

Glad you got it, hunting. Maybe next time you could say it's an unclued entry - lots of ABers don't see the Speccie puzzle regularly.

[bookbinder]

Yes, but what about the ABer who gave you the answer? Namely, ME!
Don't I get a thank you?

[hunting]

OK. Thank you. Thank you. Don't know what ABers are. I just thought that everyone did the speccie.

[Neveracrossword]

Hunting, ABers are simply people on Answerbank, it's just a quicker way to say that!
Where crosswords are concerned, lots people enjoy helping, but we don't all have a copy of the paper or magazine. It's good to be given the clue or, like in this case, be told that there isn't one. The information about themes is useful too - I'm sure some solvers tried to make a word using the letters you'd given, but they'd never get one, seeing as it was in reverse!
