The document discusses the threat that the teaching of English as a second language poses to the Fiji-Hindi language. Fiji-Hindi is spoken by Fijians of Indian descent but is considered a minority language. As more generations learn English in school and use it regularly, the use of Fiji-Hindi is declining, especially among young people. This poses a danger of Fiji-Hindi becoming an extinct language over time if trends continue without efforts to revitalize the language.

1. Linguistic Death - a result the teaching of English as a second language poses to learners with Fiji-Hindi as their first language.

12. Should the right question be: Why is English replacing Fiji-Hindi or in that case, any other language? Can this aspect of language evolution be a result of globalisation? The agents of language shift need to be identified so that minor languages do not fear language death.

13. English being the global and most recognised language in itself is powerful. Its power and importance is incomparable but cannot be ignored. Minor languages such as Fiji-Hindi also have their own rights and advantages. They are a mirror to their associated cultures. This also can not be ignored.
