Usage Note

Fiyiano (also spelled fijiano) is the Spanish demonym for Fiji and its people, working as both adjective and noun (un fiyiano, 'a Fijian'). Both spellings are accepted; fiyiano reflects the modern RAE preference for y where the sound is the consonantal y phoneme. The feminine form is fiyiana (or fijiana).
