Sociohistorical background Fiji is a group of 300 islands in the Southwest Pacific on the border of the cultural areas of Melanesia and Polynesia. The Fijian language, spoken throughout the group, consists of many dialects, some of which are not mutually intelligible. However, one particular variety of the language today known as standard Fijian has served as the lingua franca among the indigenous population. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | The Survey of Pidgin and Creole Languages, v.III: Contact Languages Based on Languages from Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, p. 114-118 | Publisher: | Oxford University Press | Place of Publication: | Oxford, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9780199691425 9780199691432 |
