How come th epopulation mentioned in this article (288 000) is smaller than that of Andaman islands alone (315 000) ? --Kummi 20:42, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
I do not think the following statement is correct: "It became an Indian union territory (UT) along with the declaration of India's independence in 1947."
The original Constitution of India says in the First Schedule, Part II: The Andaman and Nicobar Islands...The territory which immediately before the commencement of this Constitution was comprised in the Chief Commissioner's Province of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
This implies that the Andaman and Nicobar Islands was a Chief Commissioner's Province between 1947 and 1950, not a Union Territory. --Manojb 09:58, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Austrian colony?
de:Andamanen und Nikobaren states, that the Andamans and Nicobar Islands were an Austrian colony between 1778 and 1783. Does anyone know more about it? Gugganij 11:27, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Official Languages?
The languages mentioned on the page as official languages of the ANI are not OFFICIAL. There are significant populations that speak these languages there but the union territory's government does not recognize them as OFFICIAL. The Union Government recognises 22 languages in the 8th Schedule but Nicobarese etc are not on that list. So what list is this refering to? Languages recognised/allowed in legal proceedings are not necessarily OFFICIAL languages —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.199.177.246 (talk) 08:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC).
