We know that there are people who want to promote only the Devanagri script for Konknni. We also know that there are people who want to promote both Devanagri and Roman scripts. There are still others like me who want Konknni to be written in all five scripts used by its speakers, namely Devanagri, Roman, Kannada, Malayalam and Arabic. The question I have, however, is, are there any individuals or groups in Goa who demand that it only be written in Roman script? If so, who are these people, and what is their rationale?
On another front, it is well known that Konknni is spoken in many dialects. While there are attempts made to standardize the usage, the current trend in its growing literature is to accept all variations of utterances. Given this fact, could someone tell me if there are people in Goa who believe that only their own dialect is the correct one, and the only one that needs to be recognized and promoted. If so, who are these people, and what is their rationale? Cheers, Santosh
