Sam Furtado's efforts are appreciated.
However, he must note that neither floriano nor goasuraj party is interested
in continuing the language feud which has kept Goans dis-united upto now and
this is going to continue if the language hatchet is not buried once and for
all. So saying, we are of the qualified opinion that since KONKANI is the
official language of GOA, Marathi should not have any part to play in the
Official Language issue. Therefore, it would be wise to remove two items
from the Goa's Official Language Act, i.e. (1) Konkani only in Devanagri
script, and (2) Marathi may be used for official purposes. This will remove
any and all ambiguities in the Act and Konkani will stay on the throne as it
should be as the Official Language of GOA. Whether it is written in Romi,
Devanagiri, Tulu or for that matter Arabic or Urdu script will not matter as
long as KONKANI remains KONKANI.
Goasuraj will implement the above when it comes to power and also
standardize all names of places, once and for all.

Subject: [Goanet] Konkani was a dialect of Marathi'

This refers to floriano wrote: costs. Practically the Goan Hindu world
believed to the contrary i.e. that > Konkani was a dialect of Marathi
and therefore of no consequence. This > wide-spread attitude of the Goan
Hindu world made Ravindra Kelekar
> altogether a laughing stalk.
Ask MR. FLORIANO to read Mr. Daniel Gonsalves email in ‘Goanet Digest,
Vol 5, Issue 824’ dated August 5, 2010 on NORTH KONKAN's NATIVE
PEOPLE's VANISHING LAND's and the website: Bombay Native People:
http://www.bombayland.blogspot.com/ (2) http://www.east-indians.com/
in which he wrote the Konkani what we speak is of the earlier settlers
from Bengal and Assam, so what is the hassle of about Goan Hindu world
believed to the contrary i.e. that > Konkani was a dialect of Marathi.
'big Bu...ll s.. t'. The Goan Hindus seems of becoming apprehensive
in language dispute once again. Let the languages lie in peace, you'll
carry on with the good works as a true Goan patriots of Goa.
