Could I know the source of the info on the percentage of Portuguese speakers? 10% seems too high to me. I would also like to know, if possible, how this figure is calculated.
Thank you,

Dear Liladhar,Portuguese is taught in schools,higher secondaries and colleges.About 10% of
Goans can either speak or understand Portuguese. Those who learn Portuguese
in school,do not necessarily learn to speak.Those who speak at home need not
necessarily be able to read and write. It is not mutually exclusive,either.
