Malvani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Malvani also known as "Malwani" is a major and significant dialect of the Konkani language, although it maybe more precise to define it as a Creole, a bridge dialect between the Konkani substrate and the Marathi into which it is being assimilated. It is spoken in and around the townships of Malvan, Vengurla and their environs in the district of Sindhudurg, which lie in the Maharashtra Konkan, i.e., that part of the Konkan allocated to the State of Maharashtra by the Indian States Re-Organization Committee, 1959. This is also called the Konkan Vibhag (i.e., Division) of Maharashtra.
