The '''Jangil''' (also '''Rutland Jarawa''') were one of the [[Andamanese]] [[indigenous peoples]] of the [[Andaman Islands]], located in the [[Bay of Bengal]]. They were distributed through the interior of [[Rutland Island]], and were given the name Rutland Jarawa because it was supposed that they were related to the neighboring [[Jarawa (Andaman Islands)|Jarawas]] people. Since they were first encountered and documented in the mid-19th century, direct contacts with them remained scarce and they generally sought to avoid such encounters. There are only a few reported instances where outsiders (the [[British Raj|British]] and [[Demographics of India|Indian]] settlers) encountered individuals from the group, the last such case being in 1907. Expeditions sent to the interior of the island in the 1920s failed to find any signs of current habitation; their disappearance and extinction were most likely the result of introduced [[disease]]s to which they had no natural [[immune system|immunity]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.andaman.org/BOOK/chapter8/text8.htm|title=George Webber's Lonely Islands, Chapter 8: The Tribes, Section: The Jangil|date=2013-05-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130520161055/http://www.andaman.org/BOOK/chapter8/text8.htm#jangil|archive-date=2013-05-20|url-status=bot: unknown|access-date=2017-06-28}}</ref> | The '''Jangil''' (also '''Rutland Jarawa''') were one of the [[Andamanese]] [[indigenous peoples]] of the [[Andaman Islands]], located in the [[Bay of Bengal]].
