Not much is known about this language but what I do know is that its spoken by the isolated Sentinelese people of the Andaman Islands. The Language Family is unknown and is probably a Andamanese one. This one was brief since its pretty unknown to the rest of the world
Kaixana Language
This one is very interesting since its a critically endangered language with only one speaker today. This language is found in Brazil and is presumed as extinct though one speaker still uses it today. Its also a Arawakan one. I also forgot to mention that Raimundo Avelino is the only Kaixana speaker
Jerriais Language
A romance language spoken on Jersey Island. Though Jersey's official language was French. Jerriais was spoken by some people. at one point Jerriais wasnt allowed to be spoken by children in schools. This language is pretty interesting.

I cant find the exact number of speakers but this Polynesian language is used as a lingua franca in the Polynesian Islands which are governed by France. Hello in Tahitian is la Orana while welcome is Maeva. Just like many Polynesian language. They use the term aloha so really Tahitian isnt that obscure
