'''Northern Andamanese''' is the critically endangered native language of [[North Andaman Island]]. It is closely related to [[Akakede language|Akakede]] and seems to have consisted of four [[mutually intelligible]] dialects: [[Akachari dialect|Akachari]] (Cari), [[Akakhora dialect|Akakhora]] (Kora), [[Akabo dialect|Akabo]] (Bo), and [[Akajeru dialect|Akajeru]] (Jeru). Jeru is the only one with speakers remaining.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Zamponi |first=Raoul |url=https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10137813/1/A-Grammar-of-Akajeru.pdf.pdf |title=A grammar of Akajeru: fragments of a traditional North Andamanese dialect |last2=Comrie |first2=Bernard |date=2021 |publisher=UCL Press |isbn=978-1-80008-093-5 |series=Grammars of world and minority languages |location=London}}</ref><ref>Bernard Comrie & Raoul Zamponi. 2019.

When the North Andamanese people were resettled to [[Strait Island]], [[Mixed Great Andamanese|a ''koiné'']] developed from the resulting mixture of dialects. It went extinct in the early 2000s.<br />
