Cacaopera is an extinct Misumalpan language formerly spoken in the department of Morazán in El Salvador by the Cacaopera people. It was closely related to Matagalpa, and slightly more distantly to Sumo, but was geographically separated from other Misumalpan languages.
The last semi-speakers of Cacaopera, none of them native speakers, died in 1974.
