Isn't this Grammar book more of historical significance, than actual worth in advancing the knowledge of the language? Many experts have provided inputs in changing the structure of the language, and a few of them, now dead, have left a rich legacy. I am not aware if further work on improving or rather standardizing the language is in progress.

(1) If you check it out, you could be in a better position to judge.

(2) Does anyone have a list of Konkani Grammar books available in languages other than Portuguese?

Try mail-ordering it from Broadway (Panjim) or other book outlets in Goa. FN

Reading would help me in understanding early grammar, but I have Maffei's A Book of Konkani Grammar, which I read long time ago. Since I am not a writer of Konkani, per se, though having written a few times long, long ago, however edited by a person well-versed in the language.

Having also the late Fr. Almedia's books, I am "saturated" with learning Konkani. The "new" Konkani is hard to digest, but one must to keep pace. For example, the Konkani used in Gulab magazine often bowls me over. I suppose the new generation is used to it. However, even now I find inconsistencies in its use of certain words and accents.

Which Konkani Romi publications are asy to read? 

Ixtt seems to have had a policy of making it simple.

So did some of the other Bombay-based publications, perhaps. Cine Times?

Was Gulab always tough, or did it change to that recently?

Late Fr Freddy J da Costa was  a good businessman too and efficient at getting the message across. At least that's the impression I carred with me. FN

The Konkani paper from OHeraldo and Gulab, not read it during Fr. Freddy's times, were hard to read because of "new Konkani", as I see it. Maybe, Romi Konkani has progressed since my time of reading Cine Times, Goa Mail, Goa Times, and, to some extent, Uzvadd. Some of the new words used are tongue-twisters to me. I find Poinnari bit easy to read. If the new generation adapts well to the way Gulab is written or edited, so much the better. I heard many so-called knowledgeable Konkani writers in Bombay thrash Goa Times for the way Dr. Simon Fernandes wrote or edited it. Fausto da Costa was then working or volunteering as "compositor" there, if memory serves me correctly. I was frequent visitor to Ave Maria, but it was in same pattern of Goa Times. Goan Sports Weekly, for whatever it was, didn't qualify as a good or noteworthy paper, though it carried an English section where I often wrote.What surprises me is that Goencho Avaaz has been shut down, and Poinnari is now an e-magazine. If makes me ask if there's a future for Romi Konkani papers?
