Vitorino rightly deserves the honour
It's indeed comendable that Utordkars thought of felicitating Vitorino
Pereira and taking him to Kuwait to be the chief guest at the 5th. Konkani
One Act Play. He deserves this honour as his contirbution to 'Khell-tiatr'
is immense and this stalwart has received a very raw deal for his efforts.
Like Prem Kumar of tiatr, Vitorino is the writer who would write his
khell-tiatr in chaste Konkani and was instrumental in bringing many new
talents.
While congratulating United Club of Utorda, I wish Vitorino all the best.
Fausto

Vitorino Pereira one of the exponents of the Konkani Khell-tiatr in Goa will
 be the chief guest at the 5th Konkani One Act play competition organized
by
 the United Club of Utorda. The competition will be held on Friday May 12,
2006
 at the Hawalli A/C Auditorium at 3.30 p.m. sharp.

 Vitorino Pereira is the son of the famous Konkani play writer late
Santiago
 Pereira. Vitorino commenced his professional career in the late sixties
and
 was instrumental in introducing budding talents and making them stars of
the
 Konkani stage.

 Vitorino has written many tiatrs with themes of social and cultural
 significance and he has carved a niche on Konkani stage. Vitorino's
presence
 in Kuwait during the Konkani One Act play contest will be a boon to the
rising
 stars of Konkani stage in Kuwait.

 Agree the name is Baltu but one song 3 names? Which is correct one?

 Appreciate the corrections, as I said earlier these lyrics have been
written
 on hearing from audio cassettes that I have here.
 The two audio cassettes (Lorna  Konkani film songs) that I have are very
 old ones
 and the music n words are not very clear as they are copy of Thompsons
from
 the original with licence.
 Even the Alfred Rose oldies its the same problem.  Am sure you must have
 noticed that the old konkani songs

I intend publishing the history of Lokam-Khell, khell-tiatr and Non-Stop
show like my earlier book 'Konknni Tiatrachim 100 Vorsam'. I will be writing
on individual artistes of this art form. The initial work is in progress.
(Without any assistance from govt. or any institutions so far) Anyone having
details of these artiste may forward the same to me which will be published
with due credits to the contributor.
Besides, I would like to suggest to Goa Konkani Akademi to publish 5
lokam-khell of the 5 great writers in Romi as well as Nagri to be preserved
for posterity.
Goans should pursue the project of the Kala Academy to publish the
'Cantaram' in book form in Romi and Nagri, so that the project sees the
light of the day.
Also a play of Miguel Rod should be published in book form for posterity,
else the future generation may forget
this great artiste.
So far very few tiatrist have their work published in book form, prominent
among them being Mr. Tomazinho Cardozo who can arrange finances through his
influential contacts, since publication of book is a loss making venture.

[Goanet] Prof. Borges' Comments on Nayak's Gõyant Romi Lipyecho Itihas

2005-09-11 Thread Fausto V. D'Costa
Gõyant Romi Lipyecho Itihas
(History of Roman Script in Goa)
Compiled by:
Pratap Naik,s.j.
TSKK, Porvorim
September 3, 2005

 **1 - 26 = Comments by S. M. Borges


FIRST PHASE:

 **1.  1510 - 1550:
The European Catholic missionaries burnt down all the temples that existed
in Ilhas, Bardez and Salcete.  They instigated the new converts to steal
books from their neighbours.  They also raided the houses of Hindus and
confiscated chests of books therefrom.  All these were then destroyed.  This
was done albeit with the good intention of keeping the converts reverting to
pagan doctrines and thus ensuring their salvation.

1556:
6th September First printing press in India was brought to St. Paul College,
present day Old Goa by the Jesuits. Since fonts in local languages were not
available books were printed in Roman script. Between 1556-1561 Doutrina
Christã a catechism book in Konkani in Roman script  was printed.  No copy
of this book is available.

1560 -1600:
During this period Jesuit missionaries from oral sources recorded Konkani
Mahabharata and Ramayana stories in Roman script.  These manuscripts are now
preserved in the Public Library of Braga, Portugal. **2.  The oral sources
were learned Brahmin converts who  recited the stories from memory because
the written sources, from which they had read them prior to their
conversion, were already burnt down by the missionaries for fear that they
might contain pagan doctrines.  These manuscripts were later used as the raw
material for compilation of vocabularies and grammars.  What is found
preserved is only a fraction of what was collected/recorded.

1560:
The inquisition was established in Goa. To escape this many Goan Catholic
and Hindu families migrated to Karnataka, Maharashtra and Kerala.  **3.  The
inquisition was established on the express demand of the missionaries.  The
consequent exodus of Goans to Karnataka, Maharashtra and Kerala is at the
very root of the plethora of scripts that Konkani language boasts of using
today.

1563:
By 1563, a Goan seminarian of St. Paul College, whose name may be Andre Vaz
prepared the first  grammar of Konkani.  **4.  The text of instructions
would naturally be in Portuguese but the Konkani part must have been in a
local script because as late as 1575, the Jesuits were learning Konkani in
the local script. (See Oriente Conquistado).

1563:
Garcia da Orta's book Coloquios dos simples, e drogas he cousas mediçinaes
da India (Conversations on Indian plants and drugs referring to the
medicine of India) was printed in Goa.  It contains Konkani botanical terms.
**5.  Any botanical work written in Portuguese/ English would obviously
contain local Konkani names of plants etc. in the Roman script.  Such is
also the case with a much larger work, Hortus Indicus Malabaricus written
by Van Rheede and published in 1675 i.e almost two decades after the last of
the missionary works was printed in Goa..   This by itself does not prove
that the Roman script was being used for the Konkani language.  In fact
Hortus Indicus Malabaricus contains a testimonial in Konkani written in
Devanagari script!  This goes to show that even in the seventeenth century
Konkani was being written in the Devanagari script.  The testimonial was
issued by three Goan physicians (vaidyas) one of whom was familiar with the
Roman script; he provided the Portuguese translation of the testimonial.
Yet, the Konkani testimonial was not written in the Roman script.

1565:
Jesuits started Konkani schools to teach Konkani in Roman script at Old Goa
and Chorao, Goa. Later on such schools were opened by the Jesuits in
Salcette.  **6.  These schools were not for instructing the locals but for
teaching the language to the missionaries.  It has been very clearly stated
in Oriente Conquistado that they were taught the language using the local
characters and not the Roman script.

1570:
Through Jesuits' letters we know that already in 1570 Konkani grammar,
Konkani-Portuguese and Portuguese- Konkani vocabularies were written by
Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries.  **7.  Script is not mentioned.  But Fr
Thomas Stephens and other Jesuits are on record requesting their superiors
in Rome to send experts for casting the local fonts.  Two of these did
arrive but they died one after another before their task was completed.  If
the Roman script was already being used, why this requisition?

1622:
Jesuit priest Thomas Stephens' 'Doutrina  Christã' catechism was printed at
Rachol, Goa. Copies are found in libraries of  Lisbon  and Vatican.  **8.
This was a posthumous publication.  Earlier to this date and before Fr
Stephens expired, the Portuguese rulers had already banned the use of the
local script for official documents.  Therefore the missionaries had no
other option but to use the Roman script.
Later a few Konkani books in Roman script were printed at Rachol.  **9.  A
list of the volumes printed, together with information like number of pages
and the number of copies still extant in

Since we both studied Latin together correct me if I am wrong - natus sum
means I am born and the phrase is Ad majorem natus sum' - it is used only in
singular, isn't it?

[Goanet] Konkani Pronounciation

2005-09-02 Thread Fausto V. D'Costa
Salu irmanv,
Kindly refer to Prof. Joaquim Antonio Fernandes' KONKNNI NAD XASTR and S J
Borkar's Let's Learn Konkani' for the correct romi pronounciations - nasal,
long,
short, open  closed, dental, palatal  etc.
Fausto

Ancy wrote:
The current Roman script writing is excellent except for few loop holes.

The first and foremost one is the letter short A. This sound is
pecular for Konkani language. Current Roman script uses the letter 'O'
for this sound. Thus I have noticed most of the Goans with whom I have
interacted that they do not pronounce the actual Konkani short 'A'
sound. They replace it with 'O' sound.

Because of this see how the meaning changes.

Gay ch^rta (cow grases)
is pronounced by Goans as GAY CHORTA (cow steals)

Sa~ Zuze M^riyecho p^ti
is pronounced by Goans as Sa~ Zuze Moriyecho poti (Here Mori will mean
as bathroom and poti will mean as the small bag inserted at the waiste
by the old lady)

Kam k^r
is pronounced by Goans as Kam Kor (Here Kor will mean as Anjya~cho Kor)

Hundreds of similar example can be given.

Thus TSKK suggested new letter ^ or (Inverted V while printing or
writing in hand) for the short 'A' sound.

In fact inverted V is used for the same sound in linguistics too.

I don't know how many netters have seen or have a copy

written by Prof. Antonio Fernandes (not sure if I got
the name correctly). He was called professor
because, I believe, he taught at the Rachol Seminary.

I had mentioned this to Tomazinho Cardozo during one
few meetings at the NRI Meet at the Kala Academy. He
wanted a copy of it. Unfortunately, the copy is at a
different location than I am currently at.

I think I also talked about the professore's small
booklet with Fr. Mathew Almeida, when he came to
Toronto, more in passing than its merits and demerits
in the context of present-day Konkani.

Since the structure of Roman script Konkani has
undergone changes over the last decade or so, Konkani
Ord Xastra would not meet the present qualifications.
It could be dismissed as old Konkani.

The late Prof. George Mark Moraes paid a glowing
tribute to Prof. Fernandes in an article in The
Examiner under the heading, Konkani Man of Letters.

I think I mentioned about Prof. Fernandes before on
this forum. I had requested his daughter to get his
works published, but she said that her brother was in
possession of his papers.

It's hard sometimes to convince people that publishing
a learned man's material for the common good of the
community is better than hanging on to such works for
whatever personal reasons.

In the context of the new form of Roman script
Konkani, I would have loved to hear the views of Prof.
Olivinho Gomes. Has any journalist approached him for
his views? If not, could some of the journos on this
forum get Prof. Gomes to talk. It would be nice to
have an all-round debate on the subject that's hot
issue now.

 RE.   CHURCH BEING SILENT ON THE ROMAN SCRIPT KONKANI

 Let me ask our Goanetters if you are really Goans   !!!  Does it  only
mean
 that either You or your ancestors happen to originate from Goa makes us
Goans.
 The language Is one factor which binds a family and so to say the
community
 together.

 How many of us do write in Roman Script Konkanni on this newsletter to
Goanet ?
 Pity, I feel I am more on an English language mailing list.

 Does the Church in Goa use Devnagiri Script for all their liturgical books
?
 No, It's the Roman Script. Ixtt and other Roman Script  konkani Magazines
are
 brought out by the Clergy.  The Church has kept the Roman Script konkani
alive
 by using it daily. The Church has and is using the local language
whereever
 its present.

 In the Suburbs Of Mumbai from Dahisar onward where the local  East Indian
 community speak Marathi, The Church has all its Doctorine and liturgy in
 Marathi.   I feel sad to see how our own Goans who have no pride for their
 mother tongue Konkanni are also trying to rob this small Comminuty of East
 Indians of the Marathi Church  services and impose English on them!!!

 We feel degraded to speak in our own  House let alone outside.  Look at
the
 people from other Indian States. They proudly Speak their mother toungue
in
 public.

 Its not The Church which has remained silent but it's the Goan people who
have
 Betrayed their mother tongue Konkanni. Spare The Church of joining
Politics
 which is dirty.  Look  around the world at what wonders Peoples Power can
do.
 First of all lets Start using our mother tongue  proudly  which we have
 betrayed.

2005-04-23 Thread Fausto V. D'Costa
Anthony Gonsalves  Sebastian D'souza (Seby) made it very big in Bollywood
their names featured as assistant music directors and they commanded great
respect from film music directors. Seby helped many Goans to get jobs in
hindi film music industry. Another musician who contributed a great deal to
bollywood is Balthazar Fernandes who was the only  musician  sought after
for writing music to string instruments.
Sorry, Lawrence de Tiracol is not a musician, not to humilate him but to put
facts straight he will not know the ABCD of music, but may be composing tune
naturally like our many tiatrists.

 GRAF has been conducting Konkani courses in Bombay for the past 4 years.
 Although the courses are aimed at teaching Konkani to the Goans, we end up
 teaching Konkani to non-goans who have either settled in Goa, or have
 business in Goa and/or have a holiday home in Goa. GRAF also conducts
 Konkani Seminars atleast twice a year but the attendance is very poor.
 Basically Goans are not proud of their language, suffer from a complex.
 The Konkani masses in Bombay are conducted by the Mangaloreans. The
 hymnal, Lectionary etc. are in Kan'nad Konkani. I have conducted Konkani
 courses for even five students. If Borivli goans are interested in
 learning Konkani, enroll 20 people and we will conduct the course even
 without a nominal fee. First time in history a Konkani show was organised
 by KBM Mumbai at Shanmukhananda hall which was attended by 2400 people
 speaking Konkani. And out of this only 5% were goans. Ghoddeak udka xim

I agree with  Rene's statement. We are to be blamed for what has happened to
Konkani. Nor are we ready to mend our ways.
What is our contribution to Konkani?
Last one month atleast 5 Roman Konkani books have been published. How many
of us read the existing roman periodicals?
Now DKA will come out with 11 Konkani books, for whom to read?
Goencho Avaz - Sahiteache Jhele published by late Felicio  Fr. Freddy are
dumped in the press. Who cares to read or buy?

Let's come out with some practocal solutions.
If roman konkani publications have more sale, then they will have more
advts. Konkani publications primarily requires readers. Let's work in that
direction first.
I shall write again.

 I am sure Tomazinho will not mind me saying ...that ,  IF we Goans are

 Rommi Konkani has lost  to other languages ...we already seem to have
 come to a stand still. I wrote on this forum and to Tomazinho - but to date
 I have not received a Reply ! But  then ...this happens all the time
does it not ?

Lets not put the BLAME on others , we are responsible for what
 has happened to KONKANI.
  I said this before and I repeat once again , we need an Umbrella
organistion
 that will embrace all ROMMI KONKANI organistions world wide . Without which
 I personally feel we will make NO progress.

 I now need to consider my position as the moderator of the WORLD GOAN

 I will write once again soon.

 my suggestion is if there are any goans interested to
 learn konkani in bombay there should be konkani
 courses conducted in bombay.  But the question is who
 will come forward to conduct these konkani language
 course? and will it be fruitful?

 Learning to speak
  konkanni, is the FIRST STEP.
   This is where you come in. I'm aure you can
  convince GRAF( read Fausto) to
   conduct a crash course in konkanni speaking, at
  Borivali.Adults too could
   join to brush up on their speech...A nominal fee
  could be charged GRAF
   could introduce  increase sale of their konkanni
  CDs / Cassettes / Books/
   Mags.. Maybe a club could follow, with
  book/magazines sharing
