Usage notes Because English speakers adapted both vowels as long, heavy en /iː/ sounds, ‘Fiji’ acts as a spondee in that language. This causes stress fluctuation: speakers of North American English typically apply default first‐syllable noun stress (en /ˈfiː.d͡ʒi/), which coincidentally preserves the rhythmic pattern of the indigenous etymons. Conversely, speakers in the UK and Australia typically apply final‐syllable stress, a common pattern for foreign place names ending in heavy vowels (en /fiːˈd͡ʒiː/).
