'''Shinji''' (Sinji), or '''Yungo''', is a [[Bantu language]] of the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]], between Mbangala and Yaka.

According to ''Multitree'', the spellings are Şinji (Shinji) and Nuŋgo, rather than Yungo as in Maho (2009),<ref name="Guthrie" /> and mentions of the language in the literature are almost entirely in reference to Guthrie.<ref> [http://multitree.org/codes/none Shinji]{{dead link|date=February 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} at ''[[MultiTree]]'' on [[the Linguist List]]</ref>
