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,[1][2] based on two word lists collected c. 1880 by D.F.A. Hervey that total some 250 words.
