Thank you Fred for the illuminating account of what is entirely new to me-- the TSKK proposed new form of writing Roman script Konkani. I know relatively little about the competing forms of Konkani but my first reaction is that the modified script may not be a bad idea at all. It seems to do a

Well, the new Romi script is easier to read and helps to pronounce the words correctly; however it sounds different to the age-old Romi Konkani and will certainly confuse the writers in the beginning. The new Konkani script surely looks trendy! Avelino Bastora/Kuwait _ Dev b^ro dis di~v.

Dear Bab Jerry, Thanks for your message. If you think of Roman Konkani only for current Goan elders who use it then whatever writing method followed is fine and very good. Also it is not at all problem for me as I have mastered reading and writing in current Roman script. The current Roman scrip

*** Your mail has been scanned by InterScan. ***-*** Hello Goanetters I do second Mr Gadgil’s opinion. So is it back to school for all those who will have to pick up on this new script? Do we need to learn new script for learning our Konkani? What is wrong wit
