The Bo language, Aka-Bo (also known as Ba), is an extinct Great Andamanese language, of the Northern group.[1] It was spoken on the west central coast of North Andaman[2] and on North Reef Island of the Andaman Islands in India. The Aka- at the beginning of the language name is a common Great Andamanese prefix for words related to the tongue, which includes language.[3]
Boa Sr., the last person who remembered any Bo,[4] died on 26 January 2010, at the age of approximately 85.[5]
