Yet another Language death

Written by Jaganadh Gopinadhan

I saw a shocking news in today’s Hindu news paper “Andamanese tribes, languages die”.

One more language vanishes the Great Andamanese languages .

As per the UNESCO World’s Languages in Danger thre are 5 native speakers of the language in 2007 . But the Hindu news says that the last speaker also passed away. The language too. Fortunately some documentation is there says the news.
