Kĕnaboi is an extinct and poorly attested language of Malaya that may have been a Mon–Khmer (presumably Aslian) language, though not closely related to any other. It is attested in what appear to be two dialects, based on two word lists collected ca. 1880 by D.F.A. Hervey that total some 250 words.
