Konkani In The Roman Script: A Short Grammatical Study (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788119263608)

Konkani is an excitingly complex language because it has gone through different historical situations down the ages. Because they found it both appealing and useful for their labours the foreign missionaries made numerous attempts to bring Konkani to 'book' so to say. Being familiar with the Roman script they applied it also to Konkani but faced a lot of challenges. Some of the challenges persisted till date. So, there was always a felt need to explain satisfactorily the syntax of the language. An attempt therefore has been made to put into perspective some of the grammatical relations found in the Konkani language. Some doable suggestions have also been made in overcoming some of the existing challenges and facilitating further the use of the Roman script for inscribing Konkani.
