The Choptank (or Ababco) were an Algonquian-speaking Native American people that historically lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland on the Delmarva Peninsula. They occupied an area along the lower Choptank River basin, which included parts of present-day Talbot, Dorchester and Caroline counties. They spoke Nanticoke, an Eastern Algonquian language closely related to Delaware. The Choptank were the only Indians on the Eastern Shore to be granted a reservation in fee simple by the English colonial government. They retained the land until 1822, when the state of Maryland sold it, in part to pay for the state's share of the District of Columbia.

- Choptank-folket var en -talande amerikansk indianstam och som levde i östra delen av Maryland på Delmarvahalvön. Folket hade sin egen kultur men de var kulturellt och språkligt besläktade med-stammen, som höll till söder om Choptank-folket. Choptank hade goda relationer med de engelska kolonisterna och blev så småningom genom giftermål assimilerade med mainstream-samhället. Likt många andra indianstammar är Choptank-folket som folk betraktat numera utdött, men efterlevande finns. (sv)
