Anserma (Anserna, Umbra) is a Chocoan language of Colombia, spoken by the Umbrá people. Dialects included Caramanta and Cartama. The language was thought to be extinct until 7 families were found to speak it in 2011.
Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with the Barbacoan languages due to contact.
