Re: [Goanet] Roman script Konkani... in new form

[cornel]

Thank you Fred for the illuminating account of what is entirely new to me--  
the TSKK proposed new form of writing Roman script Konkani. I know 
relatively little about the competing forms of Konkani but my first reaction 
is that the modified script may not be a bad idea at all. It seems to do 
away with the many divisive and competing forms, and particularly, those 
which currently reflect a hegemonic hierarchy. Consequently, it may be 
closer to the world of the man/woman in the street and also helpful on the 
computer. Above all it helps to alleviate the difficulties people have 
experienced with the Devanagari script.

I do hope that better informed people on Goanet will contribute to the 
discussion you have begun.
