Fiji Alphabet

The modern Fijian alphabet was devised by David Cargill using the Latin alphabet. The alphabet is very similar to english with a few omissions H, X, and Z.

A (a) B (mb) C (õ) D (nd) E (e) F (f) G (g) I (i) J (j) K (k) L (l) M (m)
N (n) O (o) P (p) Q (ng) R (r) S (s) T (t) U (u) V (v) W (w) Y (y)  


From the alphabet above you can see that the C, D, Q all have a different pronunciation than the english counterparts.

For example C is pronounced (th) as in the.
D and Q are pronounced with a (n) in front of them as nd and ng respectively.
