Konkani, A dialect? NO!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:24:00 +0000

The other day, a Maharashtrain friend of mine remarked, "Konkani is a dialect of Marathi. That is why Konkani does not have its own script." This set me thinking. I am a linguist and I am interested in language and linguistics. So I found me asking myself as to whether Konkani is a dialect of Marathi or an independent language by itself.

After giving much though to the issue, I arrived at the following conclusion: If tongues were to be graded on a scale of 1 to 10, with a full fledged language like Hindi, Marathi, etc. placed at 10 and any dialect at 5, Konkani would find its place at 7.5; Not 5, hence not a dialect and not 10 hence not a fully developed language. Why so? Why could Konkani not become a fully developed language? The reasons are obvious. People used Konkani only for oral communication but when it came to writing, the people in pre-Portuguese Goa wrote in Marathi. During the Portuguese regime, the Christian converts used Portuguese for written communication, while the Goan hindus continued to use Marathi. As a result of this, the development of Konkani suffered a set back. Hence, 7.5 instead of 10. But definitely not 5 (a dialect).

Having or not having a script is not the criterion in deciding whether a tongue is a dialect or an independent language. Even English (bestowed with the honour of being an international language) had to borrow the Roman script from Latin. Russian and other Slav languages has no script till St Cyril formulated for them the CyrillicAlphabet (being a mixture of Greek and Roman scripts) And for those who are ignorant, Konkani has not one but 6 scripts – Roman, Devnagari, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali and A rabic! Because Konkani is spoken all along the Konkan coast which lies in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala besides Goa. It is difficult to adopt any one of these scripts for Konkani because in each state, Konkani imbibes the accent and the vocabulary peculiar to that state/region which can be denoted only in that script e.g.The e sound cannot be denoted in Devanagari which is possible in Roman (e) or Kannada scripts ( ).

Coming to the vocabulary, as Konkani is one of the several daughters of the mother language Sanskrit, there are bound to be similarities as there are in Hindi / Marathi / Gujarati / Punjabi, etc. or Bengali / Oriya / Assamese etc. So this cannot be considered to be a ground for labeling Konkani as a dialect of Marathi. Even the syntax among most Indian languages is more or less similar. Hence, it is safe to conclude that while Konkani may not be as advanced as Marathi, it is not as underdeveloped to be considered a mere dialect.

Talking about choosing a script for Konkani, it is pertinent to recall that Kemal Pasha of Turkey changed the script of Turkish from Arabic to Roman. According to him, both Turkey and Turkish would develop if Roman script was adopted. The outcome is history. Personally, I feel the same holds for Konkani in Goa too. And I am not saying this because I am a Goan or Catholic but because circumstances so warrant. 450 years of Portuguese rule, using the Roman script for writing Konkani, the language's pronunciation and accent modified over the centuries makes it difficult for us now, to be writing in the Devnagari script. And believe me, if Konkani is to develop, it will do so only if the Roman script is adopted. While on this, special mention must be made of the valuable contribution made by the Vauraddeancho lxtt in the development of the Konkani language.

To write Konkani in the Roman script was taught to us by the Portuguese. Hence, they followed the Portuguese (Latin) rules of orthography (spelling) eg. Using 'c' or 'qu' instead of 'k', 'x' for 'sh', the grave, cedilla, circumflex and tilde accents and avoiding 'w' and 'y'. Some newspapers like the 'Goa Times' circulating in Bombay used this style of spelling. Eg. 'Conn' instead of 'Konn', 'quitem' for 'kitem' so on. The Vauraddencho lxtt adopted certain rules for spelling Konkani words and this, consistently over the years or decades. This consistency has given a certain stability to Konkani orthography. It is widely accepted, recognized and used eg. in liturgicalworks by the Church, etc. and for this standardization, the Vauraddeancho lxtt deserves a big award from the Konkani speaking people for its valuable contribution to the development of konkani by giving a definite shape, a regularised spelling for Konkani's vocabulary. A contribution over the years, consistently and unstinted. Editors may come and go, but the crystallization has set in and this makes the paper stand out with authentic spelling.

But there is a flip side too. Over the years, the vocabulary has undergone a drastic change. Try comparing an issue of the newspaper of the 1970's with one of today. While the spelling (orthography) has standardised, the language has become more and more marathisized. Authentic Konkani words have come to be replaced by marathi derivated eg. 'fikir' instead of 'usko' 'Khali' for 'rito', etc. and this pains a true lover of the Konkani language. Agreed, we need to develop Konkani, but in this way? Do we have to konkanise marathi words and use them? And then when an onlooker reads this, he is bound to get the impression (like my Maharashtrian friend) that Konkani is a dialect of Marathi and that it does not have its own full-fledged vocabulary to express ideas.

I would like to end this piece by telling those who do not know that the eminent linguist, Dalgado, who is accredited with compiling the first Konkani dictionary, had, after much research, come to the conclusion that "Concanim nao e o dialecto de Marathi".

भाषेचा संवर्धन

noreply@blogger.com (Waman Parulekar) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 09:57:00 +0000

I love to speak my mother tongue Malvani Konkani. Specially with the people of Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Goa and Karnataka. Few years back me and my friends Vishal Kumar from Manglore, Sachin Patwardhan from Ratnagiri, Hrishikesh Prabhu from kudal, Ganesh from Karwar started a blog http://konkanionline.blogspot.com/ to unite all konkani's from different states. Our Konkani language have different flavors still we manage to understand wat others r speaking.

When I listen Vishal's Manglore Konkani I understood everything. Same with the Vishal, he understood everything which I told him in Malvani. Cross border Communication is very important. Chitpavani and Malvani are very similar like sisters. Where Muslim Konkani and Bhandari Konkani are also same. As per the Kalelkar Classification which is standard classification, Konkani is classified in three types Southern Konkani, Central Konkani and Northern Konkani. Chitpavani, Malvani, Sngmeshwari, Agari, Muslim, bhandari konkani are the subtypes of Northern Konkani which are very similar in nature. Chitpavan Brahmin left ther language many years back. They adopted Marathi. But still other castes people speaks konkani (different dialects in different regions) in ther home.

आता थोडासा मालवणीत. भाषेचा संवर्धन ह्या जागतिक स्तरावर एक आव्हान आसा. प्रत्येकान आपली भाषा जपूक व्हयी. दुसऱ्या भाषेबद्दल असूया न बाळगता. जिथे गरज असता तिथे ती भाषा वापरणा गरजेचा असता पण त्येका लागान आपली भाष मरपाक दिव नकात. प्रत्येकान आपापली भाषा जपली तर ह्या देशातले हाजारो भाषा आपोआपच जपले जातले. मगे खयच्या आंतरराष्ट्रीय मदतीची गरज नाय. धन्यवाद.

Really nice article I found on the website of GSB Konkani. GSB community of Konkan speaks konkani. They are really working hard to save konkani. Must read this article not only by GSB's but also by other communities who speaks konkani language.

Konkani Our Mother Tongue :
"Our mother tongue is Konkani. Konkan denotes a place. The coastal Maharashtra to the north of Goa, consisting of Ratnagiri, Malwan etc. is called "Konkanpatti" even to-day and the people here as well as in Goa and Uttar Kannada consisting of Karwar, Kumta and Honavar speak Konkani irrespective of their caste, creed or community. To the south of Bhatkal, up to Kanyakumari people speak Konkani but the other languages like Kannada, Tulu and Malayalam are more prominent in these areas".

मालवणी माणसा प्रेमाची भूकेली

मालवणी माणसा प्रेमाची भूकेली,
शाबासकीचो दोर घेवन माडार चढतली,
चढता चढता मधेच खाली पडतली,
तोंडार आपाटली तरी ही ही करतली,

स्वतः भुकी रवतली,पावन्याक जेवक घालतली,
कोकम मिश्यांका लावतली,तूप खालय म्हनांन सांगतली,
हजार रुपयाची वस्तू धा रुपयाक मागतली,
मिळाली नाय ती खराब म्हणान सांगतली,

गणपतीत जोरात आरती-भजना गातली,
शिगम्याक जोशात सोंगा नाचवतली,
दशावतारी नाटक बघीत थयच पसारतली,
जात्रेचा खाजा चार दीस खातली,

मालवणी माणसा ही अशीच रवतली,
फसली गेली तरी नाय म्हनतली,
हसणार्‍याक रडयतली,रडणार्‍याक हसवतली,
गुणगान करता करता मधीच गाळीय घालतली.

Konkani is dying …

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:40:00 +0000

Konkani is in very bad state , as unesco has mentioned 196 indian languages are endangered in India …hat means these languages are dying because people are not aware about their own mother tongue and even Indian government is not taking much care , for ex chattisgarhi , maithili, haryanvi , santali , bhojpuri , marwadi, garhwali , kumouni , dogri , awadhi and pahadi all are north Indian languages , thease speakers have started speaking in hindi and even they feel shy to speak their mother tongue .

In same way in south India tulu and kodava people have started adopting kannada,. badaga , toda and kota people are adopting tamil this is because these laguages are not recognized and these languages are treated as tribal languages …

So if we take Konkani, its also in same condition bcoz konkan region is geographical distributed in different states , Konkanis in maharastra have adopted marathi and thet feel shy and low in the society if they speak their Konkani dialect like sangameshwari and malwani and they think by speaking marathi keep up their standard..

For ex the younger generation chitpavans even doesn’t know that there is a language called chitpavani which is a dialect of Konkani and they proudly say that they are marathis not only chitpavans even gsb , rsb , daivadnya and many Konkani speakers call themselves as marathis that’s the reason year by year marathi language census is increasing and Konkani is decreasing .. In ratngiri and sindudurg there are 8 lakh people but census board has mentioned that there are only 45 thousand malwani speakers , this is because Konkanis don’t know that malwani is a dialect of Konkani …

As every one knows goa is called as Konkani state but in goa there are more number of marathi schools than Konkani medium schools, there are is no Konkani national doordarshan channel in t.v, no Konkani F.Ms, even in temples hindu Konkanis do prayers in marathi and with marathi population of goa , konkanis converse with marathi and not in Konkani…. It looks like respecting someones mother in their own mother land…

If we take this issue in Karnataka , Konkani is in good state but south canara konkanis like to speak local langues in public places thats the reason Konkani is written in kannada script and they don’t have that attachment like all konkanis are one they like to call themselves as mangloreans . but in every household we here only Konkani but todays younger generation don’t converse in Konkani with other Konkani caste , they like to speak in tulu , kannada and Malayalam in public with other Konkani pals…

Actually in undivided south canra( mangalore , udupi and kasargod ) Konkanis are working hard for the upliftment of Konkani language even they are staying in tulunadu region .. but north canra is homeland of Konkanis where Konkani is common language spoken in public but then also people are not much concentrating on Konkani..

Konkani is dying because konkanis are changing their mother tongue like Catholics have started speaking English , nawayath muslims are adopting urdu , chitrapura saraswats are using kannada , ..

This should be stopped as early as possible otherwise in few years Konkani will extinguish from this world… I request all konkanis to speak in Konkani and even teach Konkani to their children and use Konkani wherever necessary , it may be any dialect try to understand , read kokani magazines , books , ask your children to take Konkani as one of their subjects in school, avoid marrying out of Konkani caste , konkani is beautifull language lets conserve it , develop it and proudly call it as our mother tongue …

Language Is The Identity of Nation

noreply@blogger.com (Waman Parulekar) — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:52:00 +0000

Hi friends as you know our konkani language is in danger in Maharashtra. Many people adopting Marathi and dont aware that konkani is ther own language. First thing I want to clear that we are not against any language. We will try to spread konkani with respect to other Indian languages. Don't keep any doubt about our mission. We are not here to demand separate konkani country. We are proud of our country. So please don't keep any misunderstanding about our mission.

Konkani have many dialects. Like Malvani is konkani's most spoken dialect in Sindhudurg and Rajapur. To save konkani and it dielects and to keep konkani under one umbrella we have started new blog. This new blog have writers from all region like Ratnagiri,Sindhudurg,Goa and North Canara.

Now I will try to explain about our mission. We are not here to divide country. Language is identity of every community. If you want to save country first you have to save your own language. India is the country of several cultures and languages. If you are not giving respect to your own language then how u can respect your country ? We feels that all Indian languages (authorized by Sahitya Academy ) must have same status. Now we have different states like Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka each state have its own language.

We are trying to save our language. We have respect about all Indian languages. Take my example I have my own blog "Marathi Samuday" which is very famous in Marathi language. I have 2 blogs and 3 websites in English. Because I am professor of Engineering I have to use English in academics. I have written 2-3 articles in Hindi for my website. I have 3 publications for conferences in English. At my hometown I speak Malvani which is dialect of konkani.

At the end of the day I am proud of my own language i.e. konkani, my cultural language i.e. Marathi, my professional language i.e. English and official language of India i.e. Hindi. If you want to save your own language there is no need to hate other languages. We can save konkani without hate.

Important thing is that, It is practice which makes man perfect. You can become perfect in every language. Take example of former Prime Ministers of India Indira Gandhi and Narasinh Rao. Both were masters of 13 Indian languages. And if any Indian language is in danger then every Indian should help to save that language. So on this blog I expects help from every Indian to save konkani. You will ask what is the need of blog to save konkani? We want to keep konkani speaking people united. To improve language , to help each other , to construct modern nation. Thats why we are writing here.

CANARA KONKANI

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 13:57:00 +0000

…

CANARA KONKANI is broadly divided into North Canara and South Canara konkani. These are the two regions where konkani is spoken in Karnataka. Now south canara is divided into 3 districts namely udupi to the north , south canara in the middle and kasargod in the south, kasargod was taken by kerala while the Indian states were reorganized according to linguistic basis. These three districts are called as Tulunadu. So as the konkanis here trilingual, here konkanis who stay in karnataka part of tulunadu can speak tulu and kannada whereas the people who stay in kerala part of tulunadu can speak tulu, malayalam and even kannada.

South canara is districts name , the Mangalore or Kodiyal ( called by konkanis ) is the headquaters of south canara. All konkanis in tulunadu or undivided south canara region know more than 3 langauges but in every konkani house we can hear only konkani thats makes the konkanis proud to call themselves as konkanis in karnataka.

As like south canara is home land of tuluvas North Canara district is home land of konkanis nearly 32 varities of konkani caste we can find here, this district is just below the state of goa , the head quaters is karwar which is 20 km south of goa and karnataka border. it is divided into 11 taluks , the coastal taluks and 2 taluk adjoining goa border has 80 to 60 % of konkanis i.e (karwar, ankola, kumta, honnavar ,bhatkal, joida and haliyal) compared to western ghats taluks which has 30 to 40 % of konkanis i.e (sirsi, yellapur, siddapur, mundgod).

Other than canara districts we can find konkanis even in western ghats districts which is called as malenadu region in karnataka. This region covers the districts like shimoga, chikmagalur , hassan and kodagu(coorg). Even we can find many konkanis in Bangalore who have moved from canara distrcits for the sake of job and study purpose.

So Canara Konkani is divided into many varities like North Canara Konkani which has kannada influence , South canara and Udupi has tulu influence and whereas kasargod konkani has Malayalam influence. Not only region even each caste or religion has its own dialect, but one thing which i am proud to say that mostly 99 % of canara konkanis call themselves as konkanis and even they speak konkani in their houses... this is the special about canara konkanis.

In karantaka Konkani is highly developed langauge, Karnataka government has granted permission to teach Konkani as 3 rd language in the canara districts, it is taught from 6^th standard … not only in schools even we have Konkani progrmes are telecasted in air India from mangalore radio station. The govt has set up Konkani sahitya academy which is really working hard for the sake of Konkani, even many organizations like maand sobhan, Konkani village and Konkani vichar pratistapan are supportinge for the upliftment of Konkani culture, language , history and literature. There are many weeklys, dailys and monthly magazines which is circulted around canara districts like rakno, Konkani kabar etc..last year there was a guiness world record by singing Konkani song in Konkani niranthari for continuously for 48 hours.. In all the castes like Konkani Christians have not left their language, In canara district we can hear only Konkani mass or prayers in all churches as like there is kannada mass in other parts of Karnataka.

As we know konkanis have started speaking marathi in mahatrastra same like that in Karnataka only 50 % of marathis speak marathi in their house, rest has adopted kannda and even they proudly call themselves as marathi but they don’t know a single word of marathi …

Karnataka konkanis are differenciated by manglorean and karwarkar konkanis both have different dialects, In both the regions we can find all the caste of konkanis but in karwarkars we can find more of Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmins , Daivadnya Brahmins , konkan Marathas , Kudumbis , Vyshya Vanis, Konkan Kharvis , Sheregar Naiks , kudaldeshwar Brahmins, Acharis, Gabits , Devali & Bandis , Kumris , , Madivals , Navayath Muslims , Siddis and karwarian catholics , except navayath and siddis other caste speak same dialect….

In manglorean konkanis we can find more of Goud Saraswat Brahmins , Chitpavan Brahmins , Rajapur Saraswat Brahmins , Karhade Brahmins , Kunbis and manglorean catholics.

As like karwarkars there is no same or common dialect of Konkani , each caste has its own boli, like chitpavans speaks chitpavani, goud saraswats speak Konkani which has more words of tulu and kannada.

महाराष्ट्रात आज कोंकणीची अवस्था बिकट आसा. बऱ्याच लोकांनी आपली मायभास कोंकणी सोडुन मराठी वापरुक सुरुवात केली आसा. ही प्रक्रिया खुप वर्सापुर्वी सुरु झालीसा. पुन ह्येची दखल कोंकणी प्रेमींनी घेउक नाय. आज अनेक लोकांका माहीती पण नाय आसा की मालवणी भाषा, चित्पावनी, संगमेश्वरी हे कोंकणीचे बोलीभाषा आसत. मालवणीच्यावर असलेल्या मराठीच्या वर्चस्वामुळे लोकांका ही मराठीचीच बोलीभाषा वाटता. असो तर महत्त्वाचा ह्या की दुसऱ्या भाषांचो व्देष न करता आपणाक आपली भाषा टीकवची आसा. उदय म्हांबरो हुलयता तशे "आपली आवय जरी कितलीय गरीब आसली तरी ती आवय आसता. आनी मावशी कितलीय श्रीमंत आसली तरी ती आपली मावशी आसता." हे आपुण जाणुन घेउक जाय.

बरीच मालवणी मंडळी आजकाल मालवणी बोलाकय लाजतत. सिंधुदुर्ग आणि रत्नागीरीच्या शहरान रवणारो नवश्रीमंत वर्ग मराठीच वापारता. त्येंका मालवणी किंवा कोंकणीचो वापर करुक लाज दिसता. ह्या परीस्थीतीक थोडो आपलो समाज कारणीभुत आसा. आपण स्वताच आपल्या भासेचे शत्रु आसो. मराठीत बोलला की आपण सुशिक्षीत झालो ह्यो गैरसमज्. लोकांनी ह्या समजुन घेउक व्हाया की कोंकणी ही आपली मातृभास आसा. माणुस चांगल्या विचारान आणि शिक्षणान मोठो होता. भाषा ह्या फक्त एक् माध्यम आसा. सगळे भाषा एक समान. खयचीच भाषा बोलना ह्या कमीपणाचा लक्षण असु शकना नाय. मातृभाषा बोलणा ह्या तर कधीच कमीपणाचा लक्षण नाय.

सिंधुदुर्गातल्या मालवणीवर पोर्तुगेजीचो कोणतोही प्रभाव नाय आसा. मराठीचो मोठो प्रभाव मालवणीवर पडलो. त्यामुळे बऱ्याच जणांका माहितीच ना कि मालवणी हि कोंकणीची बोलीभाषा आसा ती. मराठी मालवणी आणि कोंकणी ह्या सगळ्या भषांच मुळ एकच. थोडो परदेशी भाषांचो प्रभाव पडलो म्हणान कय आपले भाषा परदेशी व्हवचे नाय. काय काय लोकांका मालवणीची लाज वाटता. ह्येच्यात अर्धवट शिकलेल्या लोकांचो मोठो वाटो आसा. अरे ज्या भुमीत तुम्ही वाढल्यात थय रवान तुम्ही सांगत्यात की आम्ही मालवणी नाय. माका मराठीचो अभिमान आस मी मराठीत ब्लोग पण चालवतय पण मी तेवढ्याच अभिमानान सांगतय की मी मालवणी आसाय. आमका दुसऱ्या भाषेचो राग नाय. पण स्वताच्या कोंकणी भाषेबद्दल अनास्था पण नाय. कोंकणी मालवणी भाषा ही अपभ्रंशान तयार झालेली नाय तर् तेका एक मोठो इतिहास आसा.

वेगळा कोंकणी राज्य ह्या आता स्वप्नच रवात ही भीती माका वाटता. सध्या सगळ्यात महत्त्वाचा कोंकणी जगवणा. आपण सुरुवात करुयात. उत्तर कोकणीचे तीन उपप्रकार आसत. रत्नागीरी कोंकणी,मालवणी कोंकणी आणि चित्पावनी कोंकणी. पैकी चित्पावनी कोंकणी महाराष्ट्रातुन मृत झाल्यात जमा आसा. रवली मालवणी आणि रत्नागीरीची कोंकणी (मुस्लीम आणि भंडारी बहुल कोंकणी). तुकमा जी भाषा जशी जमात तशी बोला. या तिन्ही उपप्रकारात मोठो फरक नाय. हेच प्रकार सेंट्रल कोंकणी आणि साउथ कोंकणी मध्ये आढाळतत पण आपल्या भाषेवर मराठीचो मोठो प्रभाव आसा. तो गोव्याच्या शुध्द कोंकणीवर नाय. शुध्द कोंकणी शिकणा तसा कठीण नाय. पण पहिला आपले उत्तर कोंकणी चे प्रकार आत्मसात करुयात आणि नंतर शुध्द कोंकणीकडे जावया.
उत्तर कोंकणी (चित्पावनी,मालवणी,रत्नागीरी कोंकणी) जगवणा ह्याच मुख्य ध्येय आसा.
