2. Onge Language

50 speakers

The number two on our list of critically endangered languages in India belongs to the family of Ongan group of languages, and it is spoken by Onge people who are located in South Andaman Islands, Dugong Creek and South Bay islands in India. Unfortunately, what brought to the fact that this language today has only 50 speakers is the behavior of the people who were very much closed for the outside world and did not have many children, so the language exclusively remained within one circle that was not widening at all.
