In First Andaman dictionary a 'linguistic treasure trove', Alastair Lawson reports on Prof. Anvita Abbi's forthcoming Multilingual Dictionary of Great Andamanese, containing content from Bo, Khora, Jeru, and Sare.
The article emphasises the age of the Andamanese culture and languages. There is also a short piece of audio content, playing some Andamanese words and phrases, alongside their English equivalents
In Breathing Life into a Dying Language , The Independent also reports on the same story. It's emphasis is on the death last year of Boa Sr, the last speaker of Bo.
