The problem of Konkani script is spelt and solved long ag. Politically in
Goa, culturally elsewhere outside Goa. To raise the issue repeatedly is
a non-starter for all concerned.
All sounds of human languages can be expressed in any given script
by modifying it accordingly. The roman script was modified as IPA
(international phonetic alphabet) years ago. Ignorance alone and lack
of interest in what others have done before anyone raising such
probelem can repeat questions. Which become just irrelevant. Sometimes
Rico adds grist to that mill - for him English is Konkani as medium,
isn't it!
Seasons greetings,
William
