As the colonisation and settlement process of the Andaman Islands intensified from the late 19th century and into the 20th century, the indigenous peoples indigenous Great Andamanese groups were greatly reduced in number and became alienated from their traditional territories. The few surviving Great Andamanese soon lost the cultural and linguistic distinctions among them that were present at the onset of the 19th century, when at least ten distinct tribal and linguistic groups were recorded. As a language and as a distinct identity, A Puckiwar and the other groups died out in the 20th century.

Unreferenced date July 2009 for the language A Pucikwar language The Pucikwar were one of the indigenous peoples of the Andaman Islands , located in the Bay of Bengal , and which form part of the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands , India . Formerly, they stood as one of the ten or so distinct tribal groups identified at the time of the initial British Empire British colonisation of the islands in the 1860s, under the wider designation of Great Andamanese peoples. As the numbers of Great Andamanese progressively declined over the succeeding decades, the various groups either disappeared altogether or became amalgamated through intermarriage. By the 1901 census, the distinctions between tribal groups and subgroups had become considerably blurred, and by the start of the 21st century only approximately 50 or so individuals remained who could trace their ancestry and culture back to Great Andamanese forebears particularly Aka Jeru , but also some A Pucikwar, Aka Bo and Aka Kora some intermarriage had also occurred with Indian and Karen people Karen Burmese settlers .
