Cari people

Territory of the Kari (Aka-Cari) and other Andamanese peoples in the late 19th century.

The Kari, Cari, or Chariar were one of the ten indigenous Great Andamanese peoples, originally living on the northernmost part of North Andaman Island and on Landfall Island in the Indian Ocean.

The Cari spoke a distinctive language, Aka-Cari, closely related to the other Great Andamanese languages. They were exclusively shore-dwellers (aryoto).[1]
