The Onge or Öñge language (variously spelled Ongee, Eng, or Ung) is a language spoken by the Onge people in Little Andaman Island. It is one of two known Ongan languages. Önge used to be spoken throughout Little Andaman as well as in smaller islands to the north - and possibly in the southern tip of South Andaman island. Since the middle of the 19th century, with the arrival of the British in the Andamans, and, after Indian independence, the massive inflow of Indian settlers from the mainland, the number of Onge speakers has steadily declined, although a moderate increase has been observed in recent years. Currently, there are only 94 native speakers of Onge, confined to a single settlement in the northeast of Little Andaman island, making it an endangered language.
