If I remember well, Portuguese is more commonly in use in Daman (Damao) than in Goa, and people confirmed this in both places. I went to visit the main church in the old town of Daman, and mass was still (also) celebrated in Portuguese - by a Brazilian priest. That was in the early 00s. Cheers, p+2D!
