The Guaymí or Ngäbe are an indigenous group living mainly within the Ngäbe-Buglé comarca (or reserve) in the Western Panamanian provinces of Veraguas, Chiriquí and Bocas del Toro, as well as in the indigenous town of Conte, Costa Rica near the extreme southern tip of the country.

Guaymí is the traditional term for the Ngäbe and is derived from the Buglere term for them (guaymiri).

Local newspapers and other print media usually misspell the name Ngäbe as Ngobe or Ngöbe because Spanish does not contain the sound represented by ä, a low-back rounded a, slightly higher than the English aw in the word saw and Spanish speakers hear ä as either an o or an a.

The language spoken by the Ngäbe is Ngäbere.

There are approximately 200,000-250,000 speakers of Ngäbere today.

A sizable number of Ngäbe have migrated to Costa Rica in search of work on the coffee fincas.

Ngäbere and Buglere are distinct languages in the Chibchan language family.

They are mutually unintelligible.
