*Would you see this as happening uniformly across Goa or in some pockets (such as parts of Bardez, and among the daispora in the then English-ruled regions)?* Elsewhere, of course, like all other Indians in their transnational dispersal, Goans have adopted and mastered a wide range of languages.I have been looking for Goan writing in Swahili. There must be some.
