I don't think that before the advent of the Portuguese Konkani in Goa was
written in the Devnagri script, but rather (or mostly) in the Kannada script
and also, if I am not mistaken, in a now obsolete "Modi" script (which was
also used for the Marathi language). Perhaps Konkani scholars could
elucidate us on this.

I am totally in agreement about this.
