Fijian...
"Of the 250 islands of the Fiji group, 80 are
inhabited. The
Fijians, who comprise about 35 per cent of the 450,000 in-
habitants, were notorious cannibals during the early 19th
century. Their Melanesian
language is spoken in numerous
dialects. Tentative portions of Scripture were published in a
number of these dialects, before a decision was made to translate
exclusively in the Mbau usage."--1000 Tongues, 1972
