Language
Sinurigaonon, the official language in the Barangay Cagniog, also in the city and province is unique among the Visayan languages. It is also spoken by the majority of the population in the province of Surigao del Sur and around Lake Mainit in Agusan del Norte. Similarities with the Cebuano language is undeniable, however, staunch Cebuano speakers can hardly understand people who speak Surigaonon. There is no doubt Surigaonon existed as pure and distinct, slowly pelted over time by Visayan words as migrants settled in the area. Today, Surigaonon is the most widely spoken language inherent in the eastern Caraga region.

Filipino and English are also official languages.

Recently the Sangguniang Kabataan passed a resolution in 2018 declaring Spanish Language as official language of the said Sanggunian. The SK of Barangay Cagniog also passed a resolution in 2019 and endorsed it to Sen. Sonny Angara for obligating the teaching of Spanish Language in both public and private institutions at all levels in the Philippines
