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)
Wait, the paragraph says numbers above ten use the English words, but goes on to say “[n]umbers greater than twenty are made up of a combination of the Hindi multiple of ten plus the Hindi number between one and nine.” This strikes me as contradictory. — Wiki Wikardo 23:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
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)
Since there exists already a great variety of writing systems (Nastaliq, Dvenagari and several further based on Roman script) for Hindustani on the Indian subcontinent, I wonder which form is used oficially for Fiji Hindustani.

The Devanagari there before my edit "हिदी" left out the न "n" from Hindi हिन्दी. Looked like a transcription error from someone unfamilir with a Devanagari keyboard. I copied the spelling from Fiji Hindi Wikipedia फ़िजि हिन्दी. 2020-01-01 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.22.223 ( talk) 10:08, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
It should be stated in the language box, how it is classified, not just stated that it belongs to the Indo-Aryan languages. Sarcelles ( talk) 07:19, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)
