Nicobarese languages

Okay, so you know how when people talk, they use different words and sounds to communicate with each other? Well, there are a group of people who live on some islands that belong to India, and they have their own way of speaking that is called "Nicobarese languages."

Nicobarese languages are actually a bunch of different ways of speaking all mixed together, because there are a lot of different tribes that live there and they all talk slightly differently. These tribes have been living on these islands for a really long time, and their languages have developed over time to include words and sounds that are special to them.

It's kind of like how you and your friends might have your own secret language that you made up together. Nicobarese people have their own special words and phrases that they use to talk to each other in their communities.

The interesting thing about Nicobarese languages is that they're not like the languages we use in places like America or Europe. They don't use the same letters in their writing, and the way they pronounce some sounds is different too. But even though it might sound weird to our ears, it's still a very important way for Nicobarese people to communicate with each other.
