Konkani Wikipedia

Dear Konknni friends,

Konkani Wikipedia has been started and been in test stage since August 2006.

Kindly contribute towards the Konkani wikipedia. We intend to make it a multiscript

Wikipeida. At least tri-script with Roman ,Devanangiri and Kannada scripts since these are the most popular ones.

We would like to get more articles/templates in place. We also need volunteers to do the thankless and boring job of transliterating it to different scripts .

As of now only two members are making active contributions. The more the merrier. Your contribution is vital to its success.

The url is given below:

Hi, I was checking sources am not sure what this community is but this source by Singh^[1] says "Rajapur Saraswats" are Dalits in Kerala. Are there two different communities - "Rajapur Saraswat" and "Rajapur Saraswat Brahmins"? Please can someone clarify?LukeEmily (talk) 04:21, 3 August 2022 (UTC) LukeEmily (talk) 04:21, 3 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Actually, there are two related communities in Kerala and Karnataka and both speak the same language. We call one the "Gaonkars" and the other are "RSBs". The Gaonkars are "rajapuri" but listed as OBC in Karnataka and Kerala, I think. Now I don't know many RSBs who have used this caste certificate but I am sure some do it for jobs etc. Regular Morty (talk) 12:26, 27 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
