Can anybody throw light and give examples of St. Francis Xavier's "effort to learn Konkani"? - And, while speaking about the Konkani language, the correct way of writing the above sentence would be "Konknni xikunk zai, ulounk zai".7 Jorge ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
