The Inabaknon language, also known as the Abaknon language or the Capul language (according to the Summer Institute of Linguistics' Ethnologue, alternative names for this language include: Abaknon, Abaknon Sama, Capul, Capuleño, Kapul, Sama) is a language primarily spoken in the island-municipality of Capul, Northern Samar in the Eastern Visayas region of the Visayas area in the country of the Philippines.
Unlike the other indigenous languages of the Eastern Visayas, namely Waray-Waray and Cebuano, Inabaknon is not classified as a Visayan language but is rather grouped with the Sama–Bajaw languages.
