LANGUAGE
The Sentinelese have lived in the Andaman Islands for over thousands of years. It is assumed that the islanders speak a single language. This language is said to be a member of one of the Andamanese language families. Bo is possibly the language that Sentinelese is derived from, but in 2010 the last speaker of Bo died. Everything that is known about the Sentinelese's language is determined from the very few encounters that the rest of the world has had with them. In these few encounters, people have been unable to determine what their official language is.
