This is a follow-up reminder of Godfrey Gonsalves’ message of yesterday.
Let us show our solidarity for Konkani in Roman script by emailing the
suggested memorandum (please see below) to the Chief Minister at
cmgoa@.... Please do not forget to cc Fr. Pratap Naik at -
tskk@..., Mr. Tomazinho Cardozo - tomazinho@...,
Mr. Luizinho Faleiro - kretreat@... and Mr. Godfrey Gonsalves -

Since clause 2 (c) of the Language Act of 1987 reads: "Konkani
language" means Konkani language in Devnagari script, it may not be possible to
do away with it in its entirety. Hence, the proposed amendment for the
clause to read:
"Konkani language" means Konkani language in Devnagari and Roman scripts.
Thank you for your continued support for Konkani in Roman script.
Moi-mogan,

Sir,
Goa's Konkani community is divided into two groups namely those who read and write
Konkani in Devanagari script and those who read & write Konkani in Roman script.
In Goa the Roman script has a history of approximately 500 years.
Besides, in this age of information and technology Roman script is an asset to
our mother tongue.
In the world tourist map, Goa is an important place. Therefore Goa Government should immediately give equal and official status to Konkani written in Devanagari and Roman
In Goa the Roman script has a history of approximately 500 years.
Besides, in this age of information and technology Roman script is an asset to
our mother tongue.
In the world tourist map, Goa is an important place. Therefore Goa Government should immediately give equal and official status to Konkani written in Devanagari and Roman
script.
For this the Govt. should modify the Language Act of 1987 accordingly.
The present Language Act, 1987, 2 (c) reads: "Konkani language" means
Konkani language in Devanagari script.
We propose the following amendment to Clause 2 (c)of the Act:
"Konkani language" means Konkani language in Devanagari and Roman scripts.
We hope that your government will take the necessary steps to do justice to both the communities of Goa and promote our mother tongue Konkani, the pride of Goa
Your prompt action will be remembered & appreciated by every broad
minded Goan and Konkani lover.
With best wishes,
Yours truly,
