Words that rhyme with Fijian
Fijian reads as a word the lyric earns weight from by context on the page; phonetically it's two-syllable, anchored on the centred /ษ/, ending where it rings out through a nasal. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. From the rhyme-data side: the perfect-rhyme pool is one of the deeper ones, the family column adds a handful of singable slants, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous.

Why fijian rhymes the way it does
Fijian sits on the mid /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 104 matches, family rhymes 99, additive and subtractive together 253, assonance 8,379, and consonance 1412. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Fijian rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
