Small excerpt:

"The last speaker of an ancient language in India's Andaman Islands has
died at the age of about 85, a leading linguist has told the BBC.

Professor Anvita Abbi said that the death of Boa Sr was highly significant
because one of the world's oldest languages - Bo - had come to an end."
