Konkani in the Roman script
Konkani is a language that is spoken by 3.6 million speakers mostly on the western coast of the Indian states of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala. Konkani is written in five scripts: Devanagari, Roman (Roman), Kannada, Malayalam and Perso-Arabic. Of these, the Roman script has the oldest preserved and protected literary tradition beginning from the 16th century. Konkani written in the Roman script is known as Romi Konkani, Romi Konknni or Roman Konkani. An estimated 500,000 people use Romi Konkani. The use of Devanagari for Konkani, which is now its official script, was first made in 1187 A.D.〔(Mother Tongue blues ) — Madhavi Sardesai〕 Roman script is not mandated as official script by law. However, an ordinance passed by the Government of Goa allows the use of Roman script for official communication.
The terms 'Konkani in the Roman script' and 'Romi Konkani' do not merely refer to the fact that the language is written in the Roman script but they also refer to the dialects traditionally written in this script e.g. the ''Bardeshi'' and ''Xaxtti'' variants as opposed to the dialects written in Devanagari.
==History==
In the 16th century, Christian missionaries studied the Konkani language in depth. They even prepared Konkani grammar, dictionaries and studied various facets of literature. The Jesuits established the first printing press in Asia in Goa in 1556. Since then, a rich tradition of Konkani literature in the Roman script has developed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Goa Konkani Akademi website )〕
