Konkani became the official language of Goa in 1987 and one of the 22 scheduled languages in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India in 1992.
One upon a time Konkani was banned by the Portuguese somewhere between the 16th-17th century.
Today, Konkani is spoken in countless dialects and is retained by the people living in Konkan coast of India.
Konkani is written in five different scripts i.e. Devanagari, Malayalam, Kannada, Arabic and even Latin.
Konkani is also a concoction of several languages such as Sanskrit, Mundari, Perso-Arabic and even Lusitanian, and finds its roots in Prakrit.
There exists a Konkani-speaking tribal community currently living in the Western Ghats and has its roots in South-East Africa. They’re known as Siddis.
