Oscar Lobo from Melbourne wrote --- > Dear Konkani Literates, I see people
using two types of spellings for our "Dudachee Bhas" Konkani and some
Konkanni. Of late someone stated that Konkanni is the correct version
although I also read that it can be written as Conkani. Can someone with
authority state the correct spelling of our mother tongue?
My response:
Oscarbab,
Konkanni, Konkani and what you read Conkani are expressions of differences
between roman, romi, Devanagari, devnagri script supporters .. Most
importantly, anyone wanting to write in our mother tongue always considers
himself/herself to be an authority on spelling words from our mother tongue
. anything 'chalta hai' ...this is the fate of our mother tongue. May be
this is happening out of immense love to our Goa :)-
