[Goanet-News] Konkani Muslims ... from the Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konkani_Muslims]

Konkani Muslims
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konkani / Kokani Muslims is a Muslim sub-ethnic group of Maharashtrian
Muslims living in the Konkan region of India. They speak the Konkani
language. A good number of them live in Mumbai. There is a large
Konkani Muslim diaspora community of economic migrants working in the
Arab states of the Persian Gulf, the UK, the USA, South Africa and
East Africa (where they have been established for almost a century).

Muslims from the Maharashtrian districts of Raigad, Thane, Ratnagiri,
Sindhudurg as well as from the state of Goa are generally regarded as
Konkani Muslims. The Muslims of Southern Raigad and Ratnagiri district
speak a dialect of the Marathi language called Bankoti/Sangameshwari,
while those from southern Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg and Goa speak the
Konkani language. Muslim people of south Sindhudurg near Malvan and
the former Maratha princely states of Sawantwadi and Oros speak a
dialect of Marathi / Konkani called Málvani language. The main food of
Kokni Muslims is non-vegetarian, mostly sea-food. Its staple food is
rice and bread made of rice (preferred at dinners) with fish and
lentils or vegetables. It is mainly influenced by Maharashtrian
cuisine.

A small number of Konkani Muslims are also settled in the city of
Karachi in Pakistan, particularly in the Kokan Town neighbourhood.

They predominantly adhere to the Shafi`i Madhab, unlike most Muslims
from the subcontinent who are Hanafis[1].
