Hello sogle konkani mogi A lot has been written on this forum regarding Konkani language. A lot of discussions have taken place too, and wonderful articles have been written some in wisdom, some in anger, but as a forum of goanetters how can we help reintroduce Konkani in Roman script? What will happen to all the students who took it in devanagri? Of course, they will learn it faster in Roman. As someone suggested that introduction of a TV channel purely for Konkani language will be a great source for this education. But the big question is who will bell the cat.
I am sure, some great Goans will support the idea of this Konkani channel and with people like Ancy S. D'Souza Paladka who wrote a wonderful article Language bill taking catholics for a ride, and than Boscos article Konkani mai, victim of script, and many other supporters of Roman script with thousands of goanetters, I am sure this Konkani channel can be a reality, which can be viewed by the whole konkan community. Promoting Roman script and making it an official script in the long run. Konkanicho mog amcam soglank assach. Zoxem ek kantar Somplolea Alfred Rosan gailolem Konkanik salan addpak zai, tika kuznan dovorpachi num, etc etc. Zaito teomp adim aikololem hem kantar. We have some real good talent on goanet, like Domnic, Lino, Eddie, Cypriano, and many others, who too must be keen on having konkani in Roman script, and it will be a great pride for all of us to have our own Konkani channel, promoting programs exclusivly in Roman script, and not like what happened for the language issue, Roman scriptik zogodle, ani devanagri konkanik man dilo. I read the article of Godfrey, and he had sent it to various groups, I wonder if it did come on the local news paper and what was the reaction. Godfrey bab, some feed back please Cheers Jerry Fernandes
