Indo-Fijians
Indo-Fijians/Indian Fijians were mainly brought during the Indentured Labour period, which entailed the vast majority of people hailing from more rural regions located in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, hence the Fijian Hindi dialect drawing heavily from the Awadhi, Bhojpuri and Magahi dialects. Gujaratis had arrived as free immigrants to Fiji much later and in much smaller numbers.
