Konkani (macrolanguage)

Konkani (macrolanguage)

Konkani macrolanguage (ISO 639: [http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=kok kok] )is an ISO 639 identifier covering two distinct languages with the same name.

*ISO639-3Documentation|code=gom: Goan Konkani
*ISO639-3Documentation|code=knn:Konkani (individual language). [http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=kok ISO 639 code sets ] ]

Both languages are referred to as Konkani by their respective speakers. However there is a major difference between the two:
*Goan Konkani is recognised and accepted as an independent language. It is the official language of the Indian state of Goa [ [http://www.goa-india-tourism.com/goa-information/goalanguage.html Goa Language,Language of Goa,Language in Goa India,Konkani Language of Goa,Goa Languages,Goa Language Tour Guides ] ] and is also one of the National Languages of India [ [http://www.languageinindia.com/aug2004/dlamallikarjun2.html Language in India ] ] .
*Konkani (individual language) on the other hand, has no official recognition. Many of its speakers and some linguists, regard it as a group of dialects of Marathi spoken in the Konkan coast of Maharashtra. George Abraham Grierson has referred to it as the "Konkan standard of Marathi" in order to differentiate it from Goan Konkani. [ [http://www.rosettaproject.org/archive/knn/detail-1?page_view=image_view Konkani Detailed Description — ] ]

Both languages are named after the Konkan region. Of these, Konkani (individual language) is considered to be the set of dialects of Marathi spoken in the Konkan region. Goan Konkani, on the other hand, is the set of dialects that originated in Goa.
