Järawa (or Jarwa, natively Aong ॳङ् IPA: [əŋ]) is one of the Ongan languages. It is spoken by the Jarawa people inhabiting the interior and south central Rutland Island, central interior, and south interior South Andaman Island, and the west coast of Middle Andaman Island. Järawa meant "foreigners" in Aka-Bea, the now-extinct language of their traditional enemies. Like many peoples of the world, they call themselves "people" in their language, aong. The Jarawa language of the Andaman Islands is considered vulnerable.
