Dear Tony,
The roots for launching a Konkani wikipedia have already been laid, but
where are the shoots?

Just noticed The Hindu report raising the issue of multiplicity of scripts;
but, in cyberspace, this is hardly an issue:

I thank Frederick, Vivian and Dominic (and Albert who responded directly)
for their responses to my query regarding the terminology defining
relationships in Konkani.
There appears to be a need for our own Goan Konkani Wiki which would address
such matters.. Googling for information on Konkani, I
Perhaps the following article, which I had posted on Goanet

In English, relationships between people are not well defined. For example,
we use the same term uncle to describe a maternal or a paternal uncle. In
Konkani the equivalent would, if I am not be mistaken, mama and tiu.
I am hopeless at describing relationships in Konkani. Could someone

Have you ever considered the fact that every word you say—every

You may think I exaggerate the power of words. A misspoken word here,
