Comments:

Konkani is spoken in Goa, Southern Kannada and
parts of Mysore (?). The version represented here is
essentially that in Madtha (1984). Other accounts of the
language include sets of voiceless and voiced aspirates
which appear to be spelling pronunciations, though /f/
often reflects orthographic 'ph'. All vowels have long
counterparts. Stress is usually initial.
