When people talk about the issue of Konkani being larger than Goa I get the impression that people are suggesting that the language pertains to a people that extend beyond the boundaries of Goa. >From the numerous books I have purchased and read I have somewhat different >impression. It is one of Konkani being birthed in Goa due to geography – the ghats creating a barrier of sorts in the centuries past that slowed movement outside and allowed the developed of Konkani as a sister language to those like Marathi from the Sanskrit root. Portuguese colonialization may well have caused this movement of people outside Goa’s boundaries and the adoption of other scripts would have come about. The case of Mangaloreans is an obvious one – but I think that the Kokni Muslims are also of Goan roots. Is there a study that examined this? John

Konkani is outside Goa with at least three scripts. I lived through this period when neither Jason nor you were active and cooperated with the Konkani Movement from Kanara without yielding to the policy of nagari alone as the script of Konkani, at the level of the Sahitya Akademi and its decisions. I was an active and official member of this movement. In reality, Shenoy Goybab's birth centenary was celebrated by me in Mangalore, in Don Bosco Hall to which all Konkani mogi came in five buses in 1977. I had earlier organised an exhibition of all Konkani Books available in Mangalore with eight mogi and Goa was surprised.
