As Fijian has more speakers than the Maori language, which has its own developing Wikipedia, it has potential for significant development of the Fijian Wikipedia, which at present has only a homepage. Speakers of Fijian can expect help from experienced Wikipedians in any move to expand their "own" Wikipedia. Robin Patterson 00:58, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Can somebody please provide the entire Fijian consonant repertoire? Scott Gall 06:33, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Fijian alphabet
A B C D E F G I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y a b c d e f g i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w y
The letters f, j and p are only used for loanwords. The letter b is pronounced /mb/; c is pronounced /ð/; d is pronounced /nd/; dr is pronounced /nr̃/; g is pronounced /ŋ/ (as in sing); q is pronounced /ŋg/ (as in finger); v is pronounced bilabially (/β/). Long vowels may be indicated in dictionaries by a macron (āēīōū) or by doubling (aa ee ii oo uu), but they are not usually differentiated at all in normal writing. —Stephen 10:11, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
