(1) Would someone who is familiar and experienced in this matter clarify if indo-portuguese dialects can be called Portuguese creoles of India? Has Goa produced its own variety? S.R. Dalgado studied what he called "dialectos indo-portugueses".

Are the former colonialists and their scholars still seeking to "matar saudades" with relics of their languages that they could once impose worldwide and still feel proud in citing as languages spoken by "xxx" millions of people of the Earth? (3) Could the languages of non-colonial countries have their own creoles? Any instances of ongoing research? ------------------------------------------------------------------- To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from Goa-Research-Net ------------------------------------------------------------------- * Send us a brief self-intro to justify your interest in this "specialized" forum.
