============================= Saxtti (Salcete) Konkani tutorials By Dr Aida Dourado =============================
Saxtti is perhaps the most musical of the Konkani dialects, an apt vehicle for Goan Song... Saxtti is distinguished from other forms of Konkani, by its consistent use of elision [the omission of a sound or syllable when speaking], almost every word except the last being elided according to precise rules. -- José Pereira, Micael Martins (†) & António da Costa in Song of Goa: Crown of Mandos, Goa,1556-Broadway, 2010. After being ignored and sidelined for ages, and hardly ever studied, the Saxtti (or Salcete) Konkani has its own set of online tutorials. These come to you in simple-to-follow, byte-sized tutorials, in a conversational format. The idea is to help build your vocabulary and understanding of the dialect. Suited for those who want to deepen their knowledge of Saxtti, and those knowing some other dialect of Konkani and wanting to encounter this. Might be a bit confusing for those totally new to the language. Courtesy the work and volunteering of Dr Aida Dourado (who recently defended her thesis on the Goan kudds/clubs of Bombay).
