Shan I think that Shan is an analytic language because it is mono-syllabic and it is similar Thai which is also an analytic language. Shan language is part of the Tai-Kadai language family. It is mostly spoken in the Shan state in Myanmar. It is also spoken within certain pockets within mainland Southeast Asia. The estimated numbers of speakers is around 3.3 million people.

There is a Shan dictionary and bitext on sealang. It contains a good number of translated words and phrases http://sealang.net/shan/dictionary.htm
Rohingya I think that Rohingya would be a fusional language. It contains many affixes that fuse to the root to show number and tense. It is also an Indo-European language which are typically fusional.
Saek I think that Saek is a anaylytic language from the word examples I could find. It is also very similar to Thai which is also analytic so I am guessing that Saek is the same.

Saek language is tonal and has 6 tones. The writing system used for Saek is the Thai writing system. ISO: skb
Wikipedia has a dictionary of a couple of Saek words and translations. https://th.wiktionary.org/wiki/หมวดหมู่:คำหลักภาษาแสก
I could not find many texts but there was this book that I was not able to find for free that is said to have translations of Saek text. https://www.amazon.com/Saek-Language-Glossaries-Translations-Southeast/dp/0891480730
