Second: As for the
Rotumansâ they are a mixture of Fijian, SÄmoan, Tongan, Melanesian, and Micronesian peoples. They did not originate from Tahiti, nor do their languages bear any resemblance to Tahitians in any way. Rotuma was inhabited well before Tahiti was, meaning that it makes no sense to claim
347:
First: The Fijian languages are not âMelanesian languages.â They form one branch of the
Polynesian language tree. Western Fijian and Rotuman form one limb of the tree, while the other is formed by the Eastern Fijian-Polynesian languages (I.e. Bauan Fijian, Lauan, Tongan, SÄmoan, etc.). This has been
348:
proven by linguists time and time again and it makes sense as
Fijians are a mixture of Melanesian and Polynesian peoples. Insinuating that Fijian is a Melanesian language with no relation to Polynesian languages is misleading.

Rotuman community. It does a disservice to the people and doesnât bring the proper visibility to their beautiful culture and history.

Polynesians (from the eastern half of Fiji to Hawaii). They do not look âTahitianâ or âNative American.â
