Talk:Fiji Hindi

message: If the constitution mandates “Hindustani,” which encompasses the entire Hindi-Urdu Sprachraum, wouldn’t Fijian Hindi fall under that definition? Maybe that section should be reworded.
Also, I assume the Hindustani translation of the constitution is in Devanagari; would that not basically make it Standard Hindi? In that case, does anybody know why the terminology opted for is Hindustani, instead of Hindi?
I removed the chart of numbers as they were otherwise identical to Hindi, except 2 and 6, which are already mentioned in the text. —Wiki Wikardo 13:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect what separates Fiji “Hindustani” in an official context from Standard Hindi is that the Fijian government hasn’t undertaken a campaign of sanskritization of the language; yeah? —Wiki Wikardo 03:09, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: If the constitution...

message: :OK, OK, I see… I finally get it! It’s not that the chart and the article contradict each other!… so much as the chart really poorly illustrates the issue, and the article describes it inaccurately. It was the phrase “the Hindi numbers have been adapted to the English counting system” that really made the lightbulb go off. I’ve tried to edit the article accordingly without being overly explicit or wordy.
The second and third paragraphs of the Counting in Fiji Hindi still contradict each other, though. “[F]or numbers larger than 10, English words are used” is still a problem phrase. It’s not clear to me whether young Fiji Hindi speakers are really using English words, or if the Fijian Hindi for eleven is “das aur ek.” —Wiki Wikardo 04:29, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Classification of Fiji Hindi 

message: I was wondering if Fiji Hindi should be classified as a form of Hindi (or Hindustani, or Hindi-Urdu) or a separate language. In particular, is it generally comprehensible to speakers of regular Hindi (who are mostly in India)? This article should discuss these questions.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 22:54, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Separate language?

message: Where do the figures for overseas speakers come from?? According to US census data Fijian Hindi does not appear in the detailed listings of languages spoken at home; (the article obviously claims all Fiji born speakers of Indo-European languages as Fiji-Hindi speakers) . Even if it were 24,000 speakers in the USA - is that a remarkable number? 
At least the map is highly misleading by coloring whole continents as places whre FijiHindi is spoken. By this method we have to color EACH major immigrant country with ALL languages of the Earth!  Kipala (talk) 14:20, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fiji Hindi - the correct name 

message: I think "few words to say" in the References is in the wrong section. It seems to intended to be a list of words of Tamil origin. Probably should be moved inline or removed.  --「ѕʀʟ·✎」 08:40, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed it- on closer examination, the contents (if appropriate) should go in other sections of the article. Original content was: Few Words to say: amma, Murruku, maala, kuuli, Jilebi. --「ѕʀʟ·✎」 08:46, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
