Barranbinja language
Extinct Australian Aboriginal language / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barranbinja or Barrabinya is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of New South Wales.[2] The last speaker was probably Emily Margaret Horneville (d. 1979), who was recorded by Lynette Oates who then published a short description of it.[3] It had also been recorded by R.H. Mathews along with Muruwari,[4] though not all items in his wordlist were recognised by Horneville. Both Mathews and Oates conclude that Barranbinya and Muruwari were in a dialect relation.
