One of the world's oldest dialects, which traces its origins to tens of thousands of years ago, has become extinct after the last person to speak it died on a remote Indian island. 日前,世界最古老的一门语言随着印度某偏远岛屿上一名老妇的离世而失传。该语言有着数万年历史,这名老妇是最后一个会说该语言的人。 Boa Sr, the 85-year-old last speaker of "Bo," was the oldest member of the Great Andamanese tribe, R.C. Kar, deputy director of Tribal Health in Andaman, told reporters on Friday. 这位名叫波阿的老妇是会说波族语的最后一人,也是大安达曼部落年龄最大的成员,安达曼卫生部副主任R.C.卡尔上周五接受记者采访时称。 She died last week in Port Blair, the capital of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which were hit by a devastating tsunami in 2004.
波阿于上周在安达曼 尼科巴群岛的首府布莱尔港去世。该岛于2004年遭受了海啸的毁灭性袭击。 |
