Sentinelese language
Sentinelese is the presumed language of the Sentinelese people of North Sentinel Island in the Andaman Islands, India. Due to the lack of contact between the Sentinelese people and the rest of the world for the past three centuries, nothing is known of their language.〔 There is no way to know the vitality of Sentinel as the people do not allow outsiders onto the island, and are very hostile towards them.〔 Van Driem, G. (2007). Endangered Languages of South Asia. In Handbook of Endangered Languages (pp. 303–341). Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter.〕

It is presumed that the islanders speak a single language, and that it is a member of one of the Andamanese language families.〔"The most isolated tribe in the world?" found at (Survival International website ). Accessed 2009-10-07.〕 Based on what little is known about similarities in culture and technology and their geographical proximity, it is supposed that their language is related to the Ongan languages rather than to Great Andamanese.〔(Ethnologue report for Sentinel ). Accessed 2009-10-07.〕 On page 10 of Anvita Abbi's book, ''A Grammar of the Great Andamanese Language: An Ethnolinguistic Study'', there is an Andamanese Language Family chart that helps to clarify how Sentinelese relates to other Andamanese languages.〔 Endangered Languages of the Andaman Islands . Anvita Abbi (2006) · LINCOM Studies in Asian Linguistics · Vol. 64 · München: Lincom〕 On the two documented occasions when Onge individuals were taken to North Sentinel Island in order to attempt communication, they were unable to recognise any of the language spoken by the inhabitants in the brief and hostile exchanges that resulted.〔Vishvajit Pandya, "In the Forest: Visual and Material Worlds of Andamanese History (1858–2006)," p. 361, (University Press of America, 2008) ISBN 0-7618-4153-9, ISBN 978-0-7618-4153-1, found at (Google Books ).
