There are couple of tribes on those Islands (Andaman and Nicobar). Some of the tribes have been contacted, some have never been reached (and are off-limits) while some tribals have moved mainland in search of jobs and have mingled with the mainlanders.
One of the tribal language went extinct because most of their tribe moved mainland and learnt Hindi/English/Tamil

This article should talk about specifically the Sentinelese tribe (but they are mixing up Bo and Andamanese tribes with Sentinelese). As far as we know there has been no contact with them ever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese
The rare sighting of them was during the boxing day tsunami and they had enough knowledge to predict it few hours before and move to higher ground.
- bunderbunder 10y agoThe Independent article I linked specifies that it's talking about the Sentinelese of North Sentinel Island. The account it gives is from a researcher who was involved in the contact efforts the Wikipedia article you link briefly mentions in the paragraph that begins, "In the early 1990s. . . " Also, look at the Wikipedia page for North Sentinel Island. The two articles give different lists of encounters with the Sentinelese that are only partially overlapping.
