The Huaorani (Waorani) language, commonly known as Sabela (also Wao, Huao, Auishiri, Aushiri, Ssabela ; autonym: Wao Terero; pejorative: Auka, Auca) is a language isolate spoken by the Huaorani people, an indigenous group living in the Amazon Rainforest between the Napo and Curaray Rivers. A small number of speakers with so-called uncontacted groups may live in Peru.
Huaorani has three dialects: Tiguacuna (Tiwakuna), Tuei (Tiwi Tuei, Tiwi), and Shiripuno.
Sabela is not known to be related to any other language. However, it forms part of Terrence Kaufman's Yawan proposal.
