History of Fijian
Fijian belongs to the Oceanic branch of Austronesian languages. Written Fijian was standardized by missionaries using spelling conventions that look unusual to English speakers but are internally consistent. Fiji's multiculturalism (with a large Indo-Fijian population) has influenced modern Fijian.
Is Fijian Hard to Learn?
Fijian uses unique spelling conventions: 'b' is pronounced 'mb', 'c' is 'th', 'd' is 'nd', 'g' is 'ng', and 'q' is 'ngg'. Once you learn these rules, pronunciation is consistent. Grammar follows Oceanic patterns with inclusive/exclusive 'we' distinction.
