Great Andamanese (Hindi: अण्डमानी Aṇḍamānī in Hindi) is a collective term used to refer to related indigenous peoples who lived throughout most of the Great Andaman archipelago, the main group of islands in the Andaman Islands; and also to their present-day descendants, living since 1970 on Strait Island.

The Great Andamanese were originally divided into ten major tribes, with distinct but closely related languages[3] comprising one of the two identified families of indigenous Andamanese languages, the Great Andamanese family.

The Great Andamanese were clearly related to the other four major indigenous groups in the Andaman islands, but were well separated from them by culture and geography. The languages of those other four groups were only distantly related to those of the Great Andamanese and mutually unintelligible; they are classified in a separate family, the Ongan languages.

Once the most numerous of the five major groups in the Andaman Islands with an estimated population between 2,000 and 6,600, the Great Andamanese were heavily decimated by diseases, alcohol, colonial warfare and loss of hunting territory. Only 52 remained as of February 2010,[1][4]and the tribal and linguistic distinctions have largely disappeared, so they may now be considered a single Great Andamanese ethnic group with mixed Burmese, Hindi and aboriginal descent.[5][6][7]

The Islanders should have killed him like the last cac..

Literal white devil. Should give him a death sentence:francis:


Imagine if that fool had covid prior to finishing the coke. If the whole planet had to shut down and we lost tens of millions to covid, then imagine the toll it would take on the Sentinalese villagers with no history vaccines or prior pandemics.


Those people have been peacefully living their lives for hundreds of years since they closed off to the world. And He drops bio-contagion on their front door.:mjcry:
