The last tribe living in voluntary isolation in Asia, the Sentinelese kill almost everyone who lands on their shores

The Sentinelese, also known as the Sentineli and the North Sentinel Islanders, are an indigenous people who inhabit North Sentinel Island in the Bay of Bengal in India.^[3]^[4] As North Sentinel Island is part of the Andaman Islands, the Sentinelese are considered to be one of the Andamanese peoples. They are designated as a Scheduled Tribe.^[5]

桑提內爾人（英語：Sentinelese）是位於孟加拉灣的安達曼群島的北桑提內爾島的土著民族，與加洛瓦族、詹吉爾人、翁奇人、大安達曼人一起共同歸屬於安達曼人。人們對於桑提內爾人的社會結構、習俗和語言所知甚少。桑提內爾人對一切外來訪問者均持敵對態度。他們是安達曼群島唯一未曾與外部世界接觸過的部落，也是世界上僅存的少數未接觸部落之一。桑提內爾人與其他安達曼人以及泰國的馬尼人、馬來西亞的塞芒人、菲律賓的阿埃塔人同屬於尼格利陀人種^[3]。根據不同的統計，桑提內爾人的人數在40到500之間。
