Fails WP:V, suspected hoax. Google Books search returns zero hits, ditto for "bianunka" Google Scholar. The main Google Search returns only Wikipedia mirrors. IgnorantArmies (talk) 13:50, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that this is probably a misspelling of an alternative name for the Bainuk people rather than a deliberate hoax. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 14:18, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (and edit conflict with an IP editor making the same observation). As noted, zero presence in any reliable sources for either the ethnic group or the language. Honestly, my best guess is that this isn't a hoax in the intentional sense, but a misspelling of Bainuk people that took on a life of its own. Nevertheless, I don't support a redirect, as no reliable sources use this spelling. It should be removed from the appropriate template upon deletion.

Redirect to Bainuk people. I think it is a misspelling of Bainunka, which is used as a variant of Bainuk in at least one source: Mark, Peter, and José da Silva Horta. The Forgotten Diaspora: Jewish Communities in West Africa and the Making of the Atlantic World. Cambridge University Press, 2013, p54 - https://books.google.com/books?id=Jq_BLoQLq00C&pg=PA54&dq="bainunka". Note, this is just a google books search, I don't have the entire book, and the discussion of Bainunka I saw has little to do with Judaism, I think.
