Northern Andamanese language

Northern Andamanese is the critically endangered native language of North Andaman Island.

It is closely related to Akakede and seems to have consisted of four mutually intelligible dialects: Akachari (Cari), Akakhora (Kora), Akabo (Bo), and Akajeru (Jeru).

[3][4] When the North Andamanese people were resettled to Strait Island, a koiné developed from the resulting mixture of dialects.

It has a very elaborate system for marking inalienability,[6] with seven possessive markers reflecting different body-divisions.

These markers appear as proclitics that classify a large number of nouns as dependent categories.
