Abstract
This paper responds to a vitriolic debate that raged across Fiji’s media and social media platforms throughout January and February 2020, following a decision by a national radio station to begin broadcasting in Fiji Hindi. It identifies ten myths from the debate and debunks each in turn, showing how the language ideologies underpinning this debate are serving to endanger all varieties of Hindi in Fiji, including the one that is most idealised.
