SO YOU DON’T THINK A RACE CAN DISAPPEAR?

The last member of a 65,000-year-old tribe has died, taking one of the world's earliest languages to the grave.

Boa Sr, who died last week aged about 85, was the last native of the Andaman Islands who was fluent in Bo.

Named after the tribe, Bo is one of the 10 Great Andamanese languages, which are thought to date back to the pre-Neolithic period when the earliest humans walked out of Africa.

Boa was the oldest member of the Great Andamanese, a group of tribes that are the first descendants of early humans who migrated from Africa about 70,000 years ago and who arrived on the islands around 65,000. Other groups went on to colonise Indonesia and Australia.

She lived through the horrors and hardships of the 2004 Asian tsunami, the Japanese occupation and diseases brought by colonisers in the 19th century.

Boa described the moment the tsunami struck: 'We were all there when the earthquake came.

Boa had no children and her husband died several years ago.

'Since she was the only speaker of Bo, she was very lonely as she had no one to converse with,'

Boa was born in the jungle of the northern Andamans and grew up in traditional society, learning to gather wild potatoes and hunt for wild pigs, turtles and fish.

In 1970, the Indian Government moved the Great Andamanese tribes to the tiny Strait Island near Port Blair. 

Boa lived in a concrete and tin hut provided by the government and survived on state food rations and a pension of about 500 rupees (£6.80) a month.

The Bo are believed to have lived on the islands for as long as 65,000 years, making them one of the oldest surviving human cultures. 

The king of the Bo tribe died in 2005, leaving only a handful of elderly members who also died over the next five years.

The Great Andamanese once numbered more than 5,000 and were made up of 10 distinct groups each with their own language.

'Boa’s loss is a bleak reminder that we must not allow this to happen to OURSELVES.

We must ensure that we as a race survive the lefts onslaught on our way of life, our traditions and culture. We must never give into to them and we must always remain focused in our struggle to exist as a distinct race of peoples.

We are as unique as the Bo and believe me the evil system we are forced to live under have planned our downfall down to the tiniest detail. But all is not lost as we can and we will defeat them, we are strong and we too are planning to combat their plans and we are the people we are strong.
