I sincerely thank you for your compliments. I am doing what I can, while I can for our mother tongue, for nobody knows what tomorrow holds for us.
I am very happy to know that Goanetters are reading my Konkani articles. I thought my exercise was futile - �Omtea kollxear udak�! We need to focus more on our mother tongue and do everything we can to promote it.
I do have in mind to compile and publish the sayings with translation.
Next, I am flattered and feel honored to be asked to recommend a dictionary in Konknni/Roman script. I don�t mind doing it, but it is quite a mammoth job. It needs a lot of time, concentration and devotion; not to mention accuracy, which is a key factor in a dictionary. Unfortunately, all these things are not possible while I continue to be employed. I could, however, take up this task work upon my normal retirement in around three years' time.
I once again thank you for your confidence in me.
Best regards,
Moi-mogan Domingos
Mogal Domingo-bab,

Hope you are thinking of compiling and publishing the sayings, with translations. Will render inestimable service.
By the way, can you recomend a dictionari in Konkni/roman-script.
Keep up the good work, Alfred
