Barranbinya · 30.1°S 145.9°E

Barranbinja or Barrabinya is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of New South Wales. The last speaker was probably Emily Margaret Horneville (d. 1979), who was recorded by Lynette Oates who then published a short description of it. It had also been recorded by R.H. Mathews along with Muruwari, 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.
