Kapóng is a Cariban language spoken by about 10,000 people mainly in northern Guyana, particularly along the Mazaruni River in the villages of Kamarang, Jawalla, Waramadong and Kako in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni Region of Guyana. There are also speakers of Kapóng in the states of Bolívar and Monagas in eastern Venezuela, and in the Raposa Serra do Sol Indigenous Territory in northern Brazil.
Kapóng is also known as Ingarikó, which means "people of the heights/heaven" in the related Pemon language. The name Kapóng means "people of the sky", and they call themselves Kakpon. Dialects include: Akawaio and Patamona. They are classified as separate languages by some people.
