Language & Scripts I feel instead of making an amendment by adding "Konkani means Konkani in devanagri & roman script", it will be more logical, if an amendment is possible at this stage, is to delete the sentence "Konkani means Konkani in devanagri script". After all it is the language that matters, and not the script. Later on the issue of the script might get solved automatically or we should leave it to that. No doubt the progress of the language in this case will be slower, however the contribution to Konkani language will be definitely greater than fighting over the script, and dividing the Goans on communal lines. All Goans should strive to sustain the language rather than fight over the scripts, or else we may succeed in having the scripts and loosing the language. Fausto V. Da Costa

Or better still why not delete from the OLA "Konkani means Konkani in devanagari script _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
