Pulomilo (1.3 km²) is an island in the Nicobar district of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, and home to the village of the same name. It is located just north of Little Nicobar Island and is part of the Great Nicobar tehsil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Andaman and Nicobar Islands villages )〕 Before the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, Pulomilo was connected to the Little Nicobar island. After the earthquake and tsunami, it became an island, as most of its land — except a small hilltop — was eroded or submerged. Today, at 1.3 km² , it is the smallest inhabited island in the Nicobar Islands group. Of Pulomilo's 1.3 km², 1.29 km² are covered in forest, and the main crop produced on the island is coconut in the form of copra. The island has no electricity,〔 and the primary mode of transport is by boat.〔〔 Pulomilo also receives a tiny share of the Nicobar tourist trade. One late 20th Century visitor described Pulomilo as a "stunning, magnificent Island" marked by "lush, green, rain-washed coconut plantations" beyond "a golden sandy beach, behind which lay stilted thatched huts" == Demographics == Pulomilo Island's sole settlement is the village of Pulomilo.〔 The 2001 census showed a population of 138 individuals distributed among 34 households, while other data show that just prior to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami the population stood at 214.〔〔 According to the most recent census data, today Pulomilo has a total population of 20 individuals in 5 households. The primary language spoken among the residents is the Channai Payuh dialect of Nicobari〔 and most are Christians.〔 The effective literacy rate (i.e. the literacy rate of population excluding children aged 6 and below) is 82.35%.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pulomilo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
