This is just to bring to your notice that,GOA is one of the states in
"India i.e.Bharat" toady. The language of this tiny state is KONKANI,since
ever. All the communities irrespective of cast,creed and religion speak
KONKANI.
Hello Damodar,
There is already a wikipedia project (in incubator) for Goanese Konkani.
It is available here
http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/gom
Can Wikipedians take active part in helping the Goan Citizen in their task
ahead?
In fact I suggest since you are a Konkani speaker (and know about
the importance of Wikipedia in Konkani) please be part of this and guide
more Konkani speakers towards this.
I will connect you with few people who can help you to get start with
contributing to Goanese Konkani

.
Thanks
Shiju

Respected Shiju Alex,

"India i.e.Bharat" toady. The language of this tiny state is KONKANI,since
ever. All the communities irrespective of cast,creed and religion speak
KONKANI. GOA was under foreign rule for more than four centuries. So the
natives could not develop Konkani for school system. Now that GOA has a
status of STATE and claims KONKANI as a State language,(Konkani being the
Mother-tongue of the citizen of Goa)it opts for setting up of Govt.aided
Primary Schools in Konkani to start with,ultimately going for Secondary and
Higher Secondary Schools. Can Wikipedians take active part in helping the
Goan Citizen in their task ahead?
With best regards,

Dear All,
I have compiled the, statistical update of the Indic language Wikipedias
for the year 2011. In this report, my aim is to provide an *analysis* as
well as *my perspectives* on the health of various Indic language
communities as well as the state of various Indic language wikipedias for
the year 2011. (The period of analysis is editor contributions between 2011
January 1 and 2011 December 31). As always, a lot of the data for this
report and analysis are based on the statistical data published at
http://stats.wikimedia.org. Thanks to Erik Zachte for compiling all this
information.
I must also point out that this annual update contains a number of insights
*that are derived not only from this data but directly from community
members* who have shared a very real-world picture.
Read the annual update here:

talk page. You can also reach me at shiju(a)wikimedia.org
