什么是世界上最神秘的语言？(the world’s most mysterious language?)
即使是最勇敢的旅行者也会明智地避开北哨兵岛，这是孟加拉湾的一个偏远岛屿。
当地居民通常不欢迎游客，即使你能安全地到达岛上，你也不知道该说什么：哨兵说的语言外界不知道，被认为与周围岛屿上的任何语言基本无关。
哨兵被认为是地球上最后一批新石器时代之前的人，据信他们的数量在50到150人之间，他们过着狩猎-采集的生活方式，通常希望独处。这应该不难实现，因为在北哨兵岛3海里以内实际上是违法的。
如果所有这些都不足以警告你，请考虑一下：2018传教士John Allen Chau支付了一些渔民拖他到岛上。他希望岛上居民皈依基督教的愿望在他到达后几天就以自己的死亡而告终。
有关北哨兵岛的更多信息：
- 北哨兵岛的面积仅为37平方英里（60平方公里），距离印度超过745英里（1200公里），印度自1947年以来一直拥有该岛。
- 直到1980年，外人才听到哨兵所说的语言，这使他们相信这是该岛独有的语言。
- 尽管海啸对附近地区造成了毁灭性的损失，但2004年印度洋海啸对哨兵几乎没有造成什么伤害，可能是因为他们在海啸袭击之前已经移动到了更高的地方。
