Qabóri (Qabóróc), referred to in some contexts as Reformed Latin Qabóri (Efkaseneči Ulâtai Qabóróc), is a Modern Abioic language in the Cronan language family. Qabóri is a more Latinized version of Old Qabóric, owing to heavy influencing from Sarpedonian languages stemming from Caphiric Latin in the 17th and 18th centuries. The modern-day iteration of Qabóri originated between 1805–1808. Today, Qabóri is one of two official languages of Tierrador, Istrenya, and Malentina, along with being a secondary language in Ceylonia, Porlos, and Kiravia. As of 2035, there are almost 360 million Qabóri speakers globally.

Qabóri is named after the Qabóri people, which are the main ethnic group credited with developing Pan-Qabóri civilization, which is the dominant culture in South Crona. Those who speak Qabóri are referred to as Qabórophones. The Qabórophonic Community consists of the six nations that list Qabóri as an official and minority language. Qabóri accounts for 75% of speakers in the Modern Abioic language branch.

Interactions between Sarpedonian, Levantine, and the Qabóri Woqalate led to the creation of Sarpdo-Abioic pidgin, which was utilized by mainly Sarpedonians (through Cartadanian Ceylonia) and the Qabóri Nation. Eventually, following the collapse of the first Qabóri Woqalate in the early 18th century, the expansion of Coscivian culture and their language led to the creation of the Cosco-Qabóri pidgin, comprised of loanwords from Coscivian and a small bit from Cartadanian. In the mid to late-18th century, the presence of Cartadania in neighboring Ceylonia led to the establishment of a sizable Cartadanian and Pelaxian diaspora in the regions of Aracadó, Auqali & Sonaxa, Tawakee, and Las Rozas. The influx of some Cartadanian and Pelaxian words evolved the language into Sarpdo-Qabóri. By the early 19th century, many modifications to the spelling and "Qabóricization" of these words had created the Reformed Latin Qabóri language that is used today. In 1826, the Qabóri Linguistics Office was formed, and in 1851, the first Qabóri dictionary had been published by said office. It has been updated 19 times since first being published, and was last updated in 2019.
