Bininj Gun-Wok peoples

The Bininj Gunwok peoples are an indigenous Australian people of Western Arnhem land in the Northern Territory.

Kunwinjku language refers to several closely related languages and dialects, spoken from Kakadu National Park, southwards to Pine Creek and Manyallaluk, across the Arnhem Plateau, and eastwards to the Liverpool River and its tributary the Mann River, and Cadell river districts.. The classification, encompassing the mutually intelligible languages, respectively Kunwinjku, Kuninjku, Gundjeihmi, Manyallaluk Mayali, Kundedjnjenghmi, and two varieties of Kune, was made by Nicholas Evans. The terminology means 'Aboriginal'/ 'human being (male)' (bininj) and 'language, story' (gunwok).( Their word for Europeans is balanda, a loan-word from Macassan traders, in whose language it meant 'Hollanders'.

In addressing djang spirits (see below) a special language called kundangwok, which is specific to each particular clan, must be employed.

Their territory extends from Kakadu National Park to the west, the Arafura Sea to the north, the Blyth River to the east, and the Katherine region to the south. The traditional lands of the Kunwinjku were located west of the Goomadeer River, north around the King and Cooper Rivers, ssouth towards the East Alligator River, and extending to Gunbalanya (Oenpelli).Kuninjku lay south-west of Maningrida, which serves as their centre for services. Many live in some 15 outstations, such as Kumurrulu at Manggabor Creek above the Liverpool River floodplain. The Gundjeihmi lived around Jabiru between the east and south Alligator rivers. The Mayali lay further south across the South Alligator River. The Kundedjnjenghmi moved around the Upper Liverpool and Mann rivers to the east of the Kunwinjku and Gundjeihmi, while, to their north, seawards, are the Kuninjku hunting and foraging grounds. Lastly, the Kune are the most eastward group, living around the Cadell river.
