Dear Netters,
This Konkani Romi / devanagri discussion has been going on for quite a long time with no way the devanagris agreeing to accept that the Romi is the real Konkani of Goa. Dr Borges the staunch supporter and the main correspondent on goanet for devanagris has been writing endlessly, his strong love for the devanagri Konkani, but what amazes me is that his correspondence is mostly in romi ( not the writing) but the pronounciations, and I wonder why he does not write his mails in devanagri,(he may use the romi script as goanet does not support the devanagri font) , and I am curious to read and see if I can understand the devanagri Konkani. Most of what is being said on doordarshan TV, in the short time allotted to Goa, just flies over my head and makes me wonder if that is the Konkani or Marathi or whatever language it is. Cheers Jerry Fernandes
