'''Poto and Cabengo''' (names given, respectively, by '''Grace and Virginia Kennedy''' to themselves) are American [[identical twin]]s who used an [[invented language]] ([[Cryptophasia]]) until the age of about eight. 

The girls were apparently of normal intelligence. They developed their own communication as they had little exposure to [[spoken language]] in their early years. Poto and Cabengo were the names they called each other.<ref name="NYT">{{cite news | first= Vincent | last= Canby | url=https://www.nytimes.com/1980/03/25/archives/film-poto-and-cabengo-story-of-unusual-twinsanother-failed-dream.html| title= Film: 'Poto and Cabengo,' Story of Unusual Twins:Another Failed Dream | work=[[The New York Times]]| date= March 25, 1980| accessdate=2020-04-30}}</ref>
