[edit] Request for Comment: Konkani Section
This is a dispute regarding the Konkani section . The disagreement is about how the section should be worded. Refer to section " Why the Sahitya Akademi verdict should be put in the Konkani section" for details of previous discussion. 07:14, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- It is more than a month since this RFC has been put up. Since no one is interested in discussing it , I feel I am justified in reincluding the line I had put up. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 11:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
The controversial remarks were edited out and the present contents are full-proof. I request Deepak to not speak on behalf of all Konkanis. I am myself a Konkani and like lakhs of Konkanis in Maharashtra,we do think it is Marathi's dialect.The contents are balanced. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.95.29.38 (talk) 05:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC).

- Why do I get the feeling that this anonymous chap may be User:Maharashtraexpress???. Anyway . I have waited long enough for this RFC. All this time you weren't interested in discussing it, and nobody else was. Now that I have changed the content you come along and demand that you have your way. Now you claim that you are a Konkani to justify a biased line. Doesn't fool anyone. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 05:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- One more thing , even if you are Konkani as you claim, please read this : WP:CAI. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 06:24, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sharad Raghav Rane
Sharad Raghav Rane has been nominated for deletion. I think we need to ask some Marathi speakers about his notability. Ventifax 07:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC) (see also list of India-related deletions)
what about the influence of kannada on Marathi ??
'The deplorable attempt to change Marathi "la" with Hindi "La"'Bold text
On one hand the text tells about how marathi is different in certain ways than Hindi and then goes on to use Hindi "la" all throughout the text. This can be easily seen by comparing the "la" in The main text with the text in the green colour roadsign board shown as an example of Marathi. There has been a deliberate attempt to wipe out Marathi "la" and replacing it with hindi style "la" even in the text books produced by Maharashtra Government's Pathya Pustak Mandal (BalBharati). A poor defence is that font/typeface for Marathi "la" is not available. That is just a way of covering up lethargy that has set-in among the language experts. Dr. Hemant Datye, Pune
[edit] Wrong use of chandrabindi
In the following content: "There are two more vowels in Marathi to denote the pronunciations of English words such as of 'a' in act and 'a' in all. These are written as 'अँ' and 'आँ'. The IPA signs for these are /æ/ and /ɔ/, respectively." अँ and आँ have a chandrabindi and not a ardhachandra (which is correct). The pronounication of these symbols in marathi would be with a nasal sound for example chandrabindi would be used to write 'Bank' in devnagari while ardhachandra should be written to write 'Back' in devanagari. I hope I have explained it without confusing further. I did not know how to change it in Devnagari so thought I would leave a note. --Kaveri 18:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
New articles of Marathi grammar and Marathi phonology are created as they are occupying considerable space here and they deserve seperate articles.(Stateofart 13:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC))
[edit] Sample audio
I added this to the main article. After looking at the pages of various other languages, I thought I could help advance this article by adding an audio sample.
