Sama (also known as Sinama or Inner Sulu Sama) is the language of the Sama people of the Sulu Archipelago. There is some difference between the islands and Ethnologue divides it into three languages based on mutual intelligibility. Pangutaran Sama to the west is more distinct. The prestige dialect is that of Simunul. The lyrics of the song called Kiriring Pakiriring (popularly known as Dalay Dalay) were written in this language.
