Icame across this article on the net and fully support thisHOW PILAR SOCIETY PRIESTS ARE DESTROYING ROMAN SCRIPT KONKANI by Menino FernandesFriday - Nov 23, 2012 The whole mess of our written Roman script Konkani has been made by the Pilar society. These Pilar society priests are out to Indianise Konkani. These priests have no other work. Their only work is to run after money and worldly things. To show the Indians how much they love indianisation of Goa they have made a mess of the spellings of our mother tongue Konkani. They are using very odd spellings and the magazine or the weekly newspaper Vauraddeancho Ixtt is highly dangerous to read as that could misguide Roman Script Konkani lovers and make a mess of Konkani completely.This article is in support for the article by Domnic Fernandes from Anjuna) These Pilar priests are out to destroy Roman script Konkani. It is difficult to even think from where they got all these funny spellings of Konkani. We at Niz Goenkar do take sometimes articles from Vauraddeancho Ixtt but make sure that all the spellings are changed back to original Roman script Konkani. It is certain that the Pilar priest whoever are writing the current rubbish Konkani are out of their minds or are their brains have gone sick. The recent article on Niz Goenkar by Domnic Fernandes from Anjuna itself proves how far those spellings of Konkani have gone. And the Pilar society and its priests are the main culprits behind it and all the blame goes on them. As a child I remember reading Konkani novels (ROMANCES or Romases) as commonly called and written by great Konkani writers who all used the same Roman script that you would find in the Konkani section of Niz Goenkar. Pai Romanxi boroinnacrancho (father of novel writers) Caridade Domaciano Fernandes, Patxea Romanxi boroinnarancho (King of novel writers) Reginaldo Fernandes, Alloysius Affonso, Bonaventure D’Pietro, Elliot de Elly and many others used the proper Roman Script in their novels. Again we had Cine Times, Goa Times, Divtti, Uzvadd, Prakash, Novo Uzvadd etc Konkani news papers which all wrote the proper and always used Roman script Konkani spellings in their printouts. It looks like the Pilar society priests have gone mentally ill to start such an odd Roman Konkani. Wonder from where do all the Goan priests (especially Pilar Society) get all the odd ideas. High time the Goans should stop reading Vauraddeancho Ixtt else your Konkani will be like what is American English spellings today compared to the original British English spellings. What is the intention of the Pilar Priests? To indianise Konkani? It seems that the Goan priests are making more mess of Goa than the normal locals of Goa. At the moment the word priest is written in Konkani as “PADRI” hope the Pilar nuts change it to “PADRY” and this word “Padry” would suit as a better name only for the Pilar Society Priests. We have all the missals and other religious contents in Konkani written neatly in the normal Konkani spellings unlike that the Pilar “PADRY” use to distort whole Konkani Literature. Many Goans as mentioned by Domnic Fernandes in his article are using the letter “y” in all the words replacing the letter “I” have learnt that from reading Vauraddeancho Ixtt. It is also a fact that the Pilar Society is starting a revolution of changing the spellings of Konkani as they like little knowing that their revolution is nothing but garbage and destruction of written Roman script Konkani. I also wonder why none of the priests including their superior Fr. Tony Lopes say anything to them or question this rubbish. We also have the nephew of the great Konkani Tiatrist and “Ace” director of Goa, the king of duets C. Alvares, Fr. Domnic Alvares SFX who should remember that his uncle used the proper spellings which were universal in Roman Script Konkani and try to correct the nuts from his Pilar society out to revolutionise Konkani in their own way, showing them their error.
