Konkani Language Article
Hi Sp0076, Welcome to Wikiepdia and hope you enjoy working here.

W.r.t your changes on the Konkani Language article I am sorry but I have reverted many of your changes. Please excuse me if my changes have disheartened you .I hope you don't take it personally. I will discuss the reasons why I feel the original paragraph was more appropriate.


 * The Dravidian influence isn't just restricted to dialects in Kanara but also to the main substrate(This is apart form the Tulu/Kannada loan-words in Kanarese dialects). The number of words with Dravidian roots is pretty high as compared with its closest relatives. Some Konkani researchers argue that Konkani cannot be considered to be just an Indo-Aryan language due to its possible origins as a language of the Kukna tribe.


 * The line Other than the Perso-Arabic influence, in my opinion, gives the reader the incorrect impression that the Persian-Arabic influence is very high as compared to others. This is not to deny that the Arabic loan-words not restricted to the dialects spoken by Konkani Muslims but also shows in other dialects.


 * The regional variations are mentioned in the section: Migration and Fragmentation. although yes, it could be mentioned in greater detail .We still have to put a section called Features of Konkani. It is better to keep the introduction short and sweet.

I will post the same comments on the Konkani Language talk page Talk:Konkani_language. I welcome you to discuss your views, changes and disagreements on the article talk page. Please feel free to edit the article and provide appropriate citations wherever necessary. In case of disagreements the talk page is an appropriate way to bring about consensus.

If you wish to reply to my talk page it is here:User Talk:Deepak D'Souza.

From your interest in the Konkani language article, it seems to me that you are a Konkani. I welcome you to take a look at the Konkani Wikipedia and hope you decide to contribute to it. Here's the link:
