- Fiji Hindi-English, English-Fiji Hindi dict., 1985:p. v (Fiji Hindi is the home language of some 270,000 people, the forefathers of today's Fiji Indians ... spoke a wide variety of Hindi dialects, other North Indian languages, plus the four Dravidian languages from South India. Today nearly everyone uses Fiji as his home language. Fiji Hindi combines elements from several of the major regional Hindi dialects of North India. It is a spoken language used for informal purposes only. On all formal occasions, and whenever Hindi has been written down in Fiji, it has been standard Hindi. To date, in schools in Fiji only standard Hindi is taught and never the venacular.)
