What do figi island speak?

The official language of Fiji is Fijian, which is an Austronesian language spoken by about 400,000 people. However, Fiji is a multi-lingual country, and many other languages are spoken there, including:

* Hindi: Spoken by a large Indian community, stemming from indentured labor brought to the islands in the 19th century.

* English: The language of government, education, and business.

* Rotuman: Spoken by the indigenous people of Rotuma Island, a dependency of Fiji.

* Other Fijian languages: There are several other Fijian languages spoken by smaller communities within Fiji.

So, while Fijian is the official language, it is just one part of a vibrant and diverse linguistic landscape in Fiji.
