Best Answer

Hindi along with Fijian is taught in schools and is widely used in homes, gatherings and functions. English is the countrys main language. Indians were introduced to the Fiji Islands as sugarcane planters bought to Fiji by the British. There are approximately 420,000 Indo-Fijians in Fiji with an approximate 20,000 of those speak Hindi while the rest speak Fiji-Hindi or Fiji Baat.
