Dear Frederich Language is a power of expression and a creative language like Konkanim should be protected and improved for the future generation only Goans can do to its own language and not the migrants. Konkanim language is very rich, like rich Goan culture that is a product of hundred and thousand years of existence and as a great center of trade in the past. I had a discussion with our late Dr. Olivinho Gomes who was an icon in Konkanim language as well he new Sanscrit, Marati and other languages; he told me that the Konkanim Language is very rich in vocabulary compared to Marati and he gave me several examples. I was emotionally very proud of my heritage and Goan Identity and to this ocasion I sudgest you to conduct a research work about "Konkanim language using different expression for the same subject" and the results should be published in a new book that will document the creativity in our mother tonge. The new book itself will emerge as new force to "Rebuild Goa" and preserve the Goan Identity. Thank you Manuel
