Fun Fact. The 14 pronvinces of Fiji each have their own specific dialects.
And in those provinces there are villages with their own dialects that are slightly different from the main dialects
3oo+ different dialects altogether at this point.
like italy hahah
@@tommasoghirardi1188 like Kenya too
Where you from Yvonne?
As a mothertongue Hindi speaker I understand about 85% of Fiji Hindi
It's mostly derived from Bhojpuri from Bihar and to some extent dialects of Uttar Pradesh all of which are pretty familiar to people all over the Hindi-belt
Hey there i am from uttar pradesh
Do you know hindi
Hy I'm fijian Indian from fiji island n we do speak in fiji hindi.but 200 years ago my great grandfather came from india Kolkata ..he came to fiji as a cultivator..

Yeah me and my friends have watched all your vids and I said that a new one came out at school and we tried to watch it but it didn't show up and I was like what.
Geography Now You have Swiss flags in the video at 9:14 instead of Red Cross flags
Thanks for doing my country so well GN! :)
You pronounced Kiribati right! :D
There was also this time where Australia, New Zealand and Fiji all wanted to become one country in the early 1900's
who told you that?
Yep that's true. .. always wondered what if Fiji was a state of Australia
Wait really???!
There is was an option to allow new zeland to become 2 ststes back at federation.
Yep, looked it up myself although briefly. The Aussies offered both Fiji and NZ a chance to be part of the Australian union as states.
I'm a Fijian Indian and we really did spice things up😏
Marty ram spicies masala oooo yeearr,,indian girls are classified as one of the beutiful girls in the world,,,,facts,,,,
@@jackalbark7593 I am not Fijian, but Indian nevertheless
Does it apply in mainland India too?
@@ayushacharya972 nah ;)
Hello brother I am an Indian Indian.
Oh really like what
Hello Fijians. Love from your brother nation India :)
Dhruv Verma we are not Indians. WE ARE FIJIAN
lXlinfinitylXl Stop being a pathetic little prick. As a proud Fijian of Indian descent I know I am not truly Indian. Like cmon I grew up in Fiji, I played on its field, I ate the food that grew from it’s Earth. I am Fijian and forever will be one. And as for your racist comment, you dare to say that Indians made Fiji a better place, have you forgotten that Fiji and India were both under British rule. Indians did not make Fiji a better place they did not stand alone they had the support from its native (not all of them but a majority of them). We Fijians together made Fiji a better place. So stop being so arrogant and have a nice day😁.
@@CellularShenenigans Interesting.. what was the contribution of your ancestors to fiji as indentured labor ?
are you more mad at the british and proud of your indian heritage or you glad the british got your ancestors there and glad you don't live in india anymore ? from your comment it feels like you want to be distanced from india and be known as fijian and not indian ?
sorry just curious and fascinated by that as i seldom come across communities that want to distance from their ancestoral identity unless its as a result of a abrahamic faith converstion to islam or christinity in which case you are expected to reject your past religion but here it seems like the indians in fiji still practise their indian faith perhaps ? would appreciate if you can throw some light into your identity. thanks.
@@suerayss Well my ancestors like the ancestors of most other indo-fijians were builders, farmers,and sugar mill workers. And yes I do feel glad that the british got my ancestors out of India, however: yes it wasn't the civil way to do it nor was it fair since the majority of indentured labourers couldn't read of write, and the contracts they signed were written in English. Why am I glad? because I wouldn't have existed if my ancestors from both my maternal and paternal side did not leave india. Not only I but my parents and my grandparents and my great grandparents would have never existed if my ancestors did not leave india. This would be a long as comment( ironically this will definitely be a long comment but I'll try my best to keep it short) if I were to write all the reasons for these circumstances but.... you can find out why on the internet by just learning about the caste system of india( Which a large majority of the indentured labourers would have not cared about after living with people from the different regions of india who had different beliefs). And yes I do want to be known as a Fijian rather than an indian because the culture of the two countries is different. Think of it like a diverging path where the road splits in the end and leads to two very different cities. And while a large majority of the the indo-fijians believe in hinduism that does not change the fact that there is large cultural difference that separates us fijians of indian descent from Indians from india. This is largely due to the fact that after serving their 5 years of paid labour the indians who had been brought to Fiji by the British decided to stay and there were even indians( those from the Gujarat and Punjab region) who came after the indentured labour system had been abolished. The 20th century had a drastic effect on all countries with the advancement of science and technology and of course both the World Wars. The influence of western, pacifica, chinese and indian culture definitely had a drastic effect on the girmitiyas of Fiji and the Native Fijians, from what they ate to how they dressed, to the style of music that they played. I identify myself as a Fijian because of the history of my ancestors. I've grown up in a community of people from different ancestral backgrounds who value Humanity, humility and humbleness over anything else and even though we might not be the richest country I assure you the Fijians have a big heart and are always friendly. Fijians those native and those who came afterwards and those who are yet to be born will always stand united under the noble banner blue.

They do indeed continue close ties with the UK, many Fijians join the British Army, I've served with a few, they are considerable units ;)
people from many commonwealth countries still choose to serve in the UK forces, is this down to better conditions/training or something else?
Certainly money and conditions are a factor, there is also the element of wider service, ie the UK forces deploy quite widely both in theatre of operations and normal postings. There is also I dare say still that element of being part of a wider family and the 'old country' has a definite appeal in that regard.
@@thesherbet it's down to Christianism
Three Steps Sideways yup My dad is Fijian and I was born in the UK because he joined the Army.
"Speaking of kangaroos, there are none on this island!" Nice to know, also there are no ice bears on this island.
And lions,crocodiles and guns...lol
Ironically, I learned to ice skate in Fiji - on board a cruise ship with a skating rink.
So what?
polar bear?
Ice bear sounds so much cooler then polar bear in gonna start calling then ice bears and snow bears
As a Fijian I am proud 💕 great job on this video! smiled the whole time, entertaining learning about your own country. 💕💕💕👍

Well, Fiji was one of the Pacific Islands that the directors drew inspiration from for the movie, along with Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, Tokelau and New Zealand just to mention a few. I hope you liked it.

i heard of Fiji for the 1st time, in the Tv Series Lost, the oceanic tried to land in FIJI before crashing.
Not the Truman Show?
Uday Rana Well, im 24, and lost started in 2004, i was 12 years old i guess... so.. not that sad haha
Really ? Then something must be very questionable in your education system.
LOST is a great show!
I use to watch lost from Fiji it was really good show and prison break hehe
wow that was a good australian accent 😂
james dyson it was a New Zealand accent
Saddy No, not even close.
Never heard it from a native Melbournian... or any other Australian (Been all over this island)
The closest accent to that would be NZ however it was bad, he did the Australian accent much better in East timor episode
***** I am a New Zealander, the vowels are totally different.
I'm an indofijian (a finindian) and would just like to say...very well researched and we'll said...love this ❤️❤️
Love Fiji from Canada
Amazing job on the Fijian pronunciation!. Fiji has also close ties to Tonga which can be seen in the Lau islands their traditional dress which is similar to that of the Tongans as they were under Tongan occupation way back when ( I wasn't a history student so take this with a grain of salt)
Many Pacific Islands were under Tonga way back
@@JT-wh3dy lol where and when?

When I was in FIJI i had 1 litre of Kava in one night......I have never been sicker before in my entire life. Also just a heads up, Kava literally tastes like dirt mixed with dishwater.
I dont think its a drink made for the taste buds but for the effect.
Nick Pannerz Than why did you drink one litre of it?
actually not, Kava means coffee on Georgian, Coffee (Kofe) is on slavic (Russian)
Swazzer Cool I mean northern slavic languages
Bregalad01 cool, as well as in baltic languages it means "coffee"
Noticing a huge increase in quality in this video! Good stuff Barbie! Keep up the good work! :D
hello from Fiji islands. we are proud FIJIANS.winning gold medal in Olympics 2020 in rugby 7s again after 2016.
The Truman Show, Jim Carrey, I always remember Fiji for that :D
Is there a link?
Nice! You nailed a lot of the nuanced stuff, like ethnic tension and the melanesian-but-kinda-polynesian culture.
Sad fact: Some Fijians were enslaved and taken to Australian sugar cane plantations in the 19th century. That's not often talked about :(
Thank you for making geography entertaining!!! Also, thank you for doing a video on Fiji!! Great job on lots of the other South Pacific Islands too!! I look forward to watching lots of your videos. My husband & I are fans!!
this is great and I love that you mentioned rotuma a few times it would be amazing if you could do a video on Rotuma by itself,
the "Mamanuka" islands are actually the Mamanuca islands which is pronounced Mamanutha just fyi!
Fiji are too good at Rugby 7’s from a Brit 🇬🇧 What an achievement. Small population but so unbelievably talented, amazing 😍
Barby, about "Tonga". You've pronounced it Tong-ga, and I suppose that's common (wikipedia gives it as an alternative), but the Tongan language doesn't have the hard G sound; the Tongans I know say the "ng" like in English "singing", not like "finger".
Correct :)
That’s helpful

Thank you for creating this video about Fiji islands.
Not many videos out there talking about this beautiful country.
Nice episode once again. It's simply amazing to hear all of this information from countries I know nothing about. Even the episodes from other nearby European countries have included really interesting and little known facts and I was surprised to hear that the episode about Estonia was featured in some piece of online news. And now, the waiting is almost over, we finally get to see the Finland episode, something I've been waiting for a long time!
Oceanian countries are so cool!! I think they're the last part of the world with a culture semi-unknown to the West. They are like hidden gems in the countries list every 1-2 years there's one. Next stop Kiribati.
Well you'd be wrong with the last semi-unknown culture thing as there are numerous indigenous cultures around the world from Russia to India to China to the Caucasus and Africa that the West are clueless about.
SUM1 yes you're right, but they are minorities inside bigger states.
Will Kiribati last long enough for Paul to cover them? :(
Yes! Some Oceanic languages are CRAZY.
+Zirylian what do you mean the languages are crazy? lol
Discovered I was part Fijian a few months ago. :)
lol, Gao is Gau and Mamanuka is Mamanuca, thanks for sharing Fiji to the world :-)
Love all your videos, Barby! Always loved geography since I was a kid & your videos are a fun & cheerful way to bring geography to the masses. Welcome back & keep up the great work! :)

Such a good channel. I ran across it like 3 weeks ago and binged the crap out of it. It is great it deserves like 6 million+ subs I wish this was his main job so he could upload more often.
Dude .. you rock ... very good accurate information of Fiji (my home country). Thanks for sharing.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Well done! 🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯
Awesome video! Just FYI Fiji is actually a cross between Melanesia and Polynesia. The Eastern part of Fiji and the outer islands have strong ties with Tonga. Other than that I think you represented my people very well
Visited in March 2020, just before Fiji went into lockdown. The beaches are pure heaven, the people awesome, very similar to beautiful Vanuatu. Tried kava, which is quite mild. Would highly recommend to people who love warm paradises and beaches
I'm from Australia and i have noticed a small politcol rivalry between Fiji and Australia... due to the coup and other minor issues... overall i beleive our nations get along well and our peopls get along famously but politics is a differant story. :)
I guess that's why they always say, 'Politics aside', we're all humans because humans invented politics and politicians are humans, lol _____ I am finishing my degree at an Australian University and thanks to your government for offering me and many of my country men scholarships. PEACE
Sad truth isn't it, politics is always the usual culprit in what's otherwise beautiful countries
Watching video from fiji. Thanks to this amazing dude for introducing us. Thanks man, love from Fiji.
I'm loving this channel 💗
Why isnt this video in my sub-box? glad I could watch this through notifications.
Masturofbating Sammeeee
I think what he did was he uploaded the video, then quickly made it private, making it so it wouldn't show up in your sub-box. I got here because my old iOS 6 iPod still has the old notification system, so when the video went up, even though he made it private, the notification never leaves, which allows me to view the video whenever I want.
I don't know why he even uploaded it in the first place, but it's probably for his Patrons, or maybe he's testing something out.
Makes sense
He actually explained on Facebook that he accidentally uploaded it early so a bunch of people saw it early.
+gelko Yeah I figured
