Everything about The Sentinelese Language totally explained
The
Sentinelese language (
Sentinel in ISO 639-3) is the language of the
Sentinelese of
North Sentinel Island in the
Andaman Islands,
India. Nothing is known of the language, and no word lists or language samples have been collected by researchers. It is presumably an
Andamanese language, but how closely it may be related to other languages of that family is unknown.
Since interactions with the Sentinelese have been extremely rare, brief and generally shunned by the people themselves, there has been no material or even wordlists published on their language, and hence there can be no classification. On the two documented occasions when
Onge and
Aka-Bea individuals were taken to
North Sentinel Island in order to attempt communication, in neither case were they able to recognise any of the language spoken by the inhabitants, though the exchanges were admittedly brief and hostile. However, based on what little is known about similarities in culture and technology, and their geographical proximity, it's supposed that their history and language is more closely related to the Ongan branch than that of the
Great Andamanese.
