Catío Emberá (Catío, Katío) is an indigenous American language spoken by the Embera people of Colombia and Panama.[3]

The language was spoken by 15,000 people in Colombia, and a few dozen in Panama, according to data published in 1992.[3] 90 to 95% of the speakers are monolingual with a 1% literacy rate.[3] The language is also known as Eyabida, and like most Embera languages goes by the name Embena 'human'.[3]
