Last speaker of ancient language of Bo dies in India. 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.
The death of the woman, Boa Senior, was highly significant because one of the world's oldest languages, Bo, had come to an end, Professor Anvita Abbi said. She said that India had lost an irreplaceable part of its heritage. Languages in the Andamans are thought to originate from Africa. Some may be up to 70,000 years old. The islands are often called an "anthropologist's dream" and are one of the most linguistically diverse areas of the world. Court rips Texas redistricting plan as discriminatory.
