Everything about Nicobarese totally explained
» "Nicobarese" redirects here. For the indigenous peoples, see Nicobar Islands.
The
Nicobarese languages form an isolated group of six closely-related
Mon-Khmer languages from the
Austro-Asiatic language family, which are spoken by the
indigenous inhabitants of the
Nicobar Islands of
India. They have a total of about 30,000 speakers (22,100 native). The majority of Nicobarese speakers use the
Car language.
They appear to be unrelated to several
Shompen languages spoken in the interiors of the islands.
The morphological similarities between Nicobarese languages and
Austronesian languages have been used to help support the
Austric hypothesis.
A monograph titled "A study on the Nicobarese Language" authored by A R Das, is available from the Anthropological Survey of India offices across India.
