Explanation:
Goans (IPA: [/'gojkaːɾ/]; Goan Konkani: गोंयकार, goykār ?; Romi lipi: Goenkar; Portuguese: Goesas) is the demonym used to describe the people native to Goa, India, who form an ethno-linguistic group resulting from the assimilation of Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Indo-Portuguese and Austro-Asiatic ethnic and/or linguistic ancestries.[2][3] They speak different dialects of Konkani natively. Goanese is an incorrect usage for Goans.[4]Goans are multilingual, but mainly speak the Konkani language, a Prakrit based language belonging to the Southern group of Indo-Aryan Languages. Various dialects of Konkani spoken by the Goans which include Bardezkari, Saxtti, Pednekari and Antruz. The Konkani spoken by the Catholics is notably different from those of the Hindus, since it has a significant Portuguese influence in its vocabulary. Konkani was suppressed for official use under the Portuguese governance, and therefore played only a minor part in education until annexation by the Republic of India. All Goans were educated in the Portuguese language in the past when Goa was an overseas province of Portugal.[6]
