* A [[w:Languages of Papua New Guinea|New Guinea native language]]
* An [[w:List of Australian Aboriginal languages|Aboriginal Australian]] language.<ref>'''1988''', ''[[w:The Bulletin|The Bulletin]]'', Issues 5617-5625, [http://books.google.com/books?id=JCYYAQAAIAAJ&q=boong+binghi+-intitle:%22%22&dq=boong+binghi+-intitle:%22%22&hl=en&ei=clCeTv7SAe3wmAXGq9WFCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA page 121] — They would doubtless have been amused to learn that in New Guinea, where the term "boong" originated, it means "brother" and has a kinship with the Indonesian "bung" and Thursday Island's "binghi".</ref>
Previously the word [[Binghi]] was used widely in similar fashion to the present-day use of the term ''Negro'' for peoples of African ancestry; see titles from [https://web.archive.org/web/20080227235135/http://www4.gu.edu.au/arts/ar17/search/redpage.txt this booklist] and also writings of [[w:Xavier Herbert|Xavier Herbert]] (e.g. in [[w:Capricornia (novel)|Capricornia]]), for example.
