Pinikura (Pinigura, Binigura, Binnigoora) is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language formerly spoken along the Ashburton River in the state of Western Australia by the Binigura. It is closely related to Thalanyji,[2] which all Binigura now speak.[3] Ten speakers of Pinikura were recorded in 1975, but none since then.[1]
