Abstract: Dr Geraghty was closely involved with the compilation of the as yet unpublished Ivolavosa Vakaviti (Monolingual Fijian Dictionary). In his paper, he outlines the origin and development of Standard Fijian and describes its sociolinguistic environment. The dictionary is one of the first monolingual dictionaries of a Pacific language.
