You will definitely receive the next Goenchem Prize for exposing revisionist linguistic myths that dupe the people and harm society. When we look up "diaspora" we see that it is Gr. (Greek). So what is the Konkani root of "disporia" so we get it properly acknowledged as K. (Konkani)? Filomena > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
