Description
Andamanese refers to a group of languages spoken by the Indigenous peoples of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal. These languages, including Onge, Jarawa, and Sentinelese, are among the most ancient and isolated in the world, with unique linguistic structures tied to the islands' ecology and cultural practices. Due to their small speaker populations, these languages are critically endangered, making preservation efforts vital.
