Akakhora, or Kora (Cora), is an extinct dialect of the Northern Andamanese language. It was spoken on the northeast and north central coasts of North Andaman and on Smith Island.

It has been extinct since November 2009 when its last speaker, Boro, died. It is likely a variety of a Northern Great Andamanese language, as it is very similar to Aka-Jeru, without any unique features.
