Nicobarese Languages




The Nicobarese languages form an isolated group of six closely-related Mon-Khmer Languages from the Austro-Asiatic Language family, which are spoken by the Indigenous Inhabitants of the Nicobar Islands of India . They have a total of about 30,000 speakers (22,100 native). The majority of Nicobarese speakers use the Car Language .

The morphological similarities between Nicobarese languages and Austronesian Languages have been used to help support the Austric Hypothesis .
