Dears,
The vocabulary from "Konkani Course in Roman Script" edited by Dr.
Mathew Almeida sj of TSKK-Porvorim, is posted here to help you use the
correct words and spellings when writing Konkani. The spellings used
are similar to those used in the Povitr Pustok, the largest single
publication in Konkani written in the Roman Script ...60,000 copies
printed and sold in the first edition itself.
Should you want the complete English-Konkani vocabulary from the book,
please send me a private email so that I can reply with a formatted
attachment in Rich Text.
Mog asundi.
