Jangil

[1] An issue in evaluating the classification and history of the Jangil is the inconsistent terminology used to refer to the Andamanese tribes.

[1] Abbi (2008)[3] and Kumar (2012)[2] classify the Jarawa, Onge, Sentinelese and Jangil people under the label "Onge-Jarawa."

There are only a few reported instances where outsiders (the British and Indian settlers) encountered individuals from the group, the last such case being in 1907.

A picture taken in the 1890s depicted huts that resembled those of the Sentinelese and Onge, but not of the Great Andamanese or Jarawa.

British naval officer Maurice Vidal Portman made contact with a captured Jangil man named Habia in July 1884.

The distributions of different Andamanese peoples, languages, and dialects at the time of British contact compared to the present-day.
