![]() These tribes spoke different but related languages were of Negrito origin and were related by culture and geography. The Great Andamanese is a collective term used for 10 different tribes that lived in most of the large islands in the Andaman. The ‘Mongoloid’ tribes probably came to the islands from the Malay-Burma coast several thousand years ago. They also collect honey, roots, and berries from the forest. ![]() All are nomadic hunter-gatherers, hunting wild pig and monitor lizard, and catching fish with bows and arrows. The ‘Negrito’ tribes are believed to have arrived in the islands from Africa up to 60,000 years ago. Whereas the Nicobar Islands are home to two ‘Mongoloid’ tribes – the Shompen and Nicobarese.
