Thanks for sharing that, Melvyn. I remember Dr W. R. da Silva, when head of Goa University Sociology Department, would draw comparisons between different forms of Konkani, which had retained more of its 16th century influences (if I recall right) and how the influences of Portuguese/Marathi and Kannada showed up in diverse areas.
Interesting that the root was more or less the same, but separation over the centuries brought in a lot of changes.
