Abstract	The use of Fiji Hindi and Standard Hindi is often debated in schools and communities in Fiji. Over the years, several studies have been conducted to focus on different facets of language use. While much has been studied about the formal and informal elements of the Hindi language, the views of the community on its use in social and educational settings have not been investigated. The purpose of the study was to investigate the views of the major stakeholders on implementing Fiji Hindi to replace the Standard Hindi currently used in the primary school curriculum in Fiji. Data was collected using three semi-structured interviews and ninety-four questionnaires. The results showed that Fiji Hindi is preferred in social settings that require informal communication, and Standard Hindi is preferred in formal settings. The results also show that participants prefer Standard Hindi for educational purposes and favour its preservation for sustainability. (As Provided).
