    The last member of a 65,000-year-old tribe has died, taking one of the world’s earliest languages to the grave.
    Boa Sr, who died last week aged about 85, was the last native of the Andaman Islands who was fluent in Bo.
    Named after the tribe, Bo is one of the 10 Great Andamanese languages, which are thought to date back to the pre-Neolithic period when the earliest humans walked out of Africa.
