Dear Fredrick bab & Willy Goes bab,
First and foremost- PORBIM.
Its nice to see a new trend being set up in the history of Konkani language
and literature. Kudos.
But I am very much upset with this line in this mail.
"( It uses a vocabulary close to the spoken tongue that Romi-script users
are familiar with)"
I don't know, why we want to classify and divide the Konkani speaking
community with this script issue. Konkanis speak a Konkani language and
there is no language which is based on any script. We have dialectal changes
and not on language basis. Our vocabulary is same and there is no difference
between the various communities of Konkani. Just have a glance at the
Catholics living in Ponda, Canacona and Sanguem and the Hindus residing in
Cuncolim and Majorda. You will see the difference, which will clear your
doubts.
We should rectify ourselves and try to unite the Konkanis and build a good
and promising future for our generations to come.
You may disagree with my views and thoughts, but I believe in what I say, as
I have a base to defend my words too.
