The konkani language dictionary will be based on the devanagari script. The devanagari script is
also used by Sanskrit, the mother of all languages. Konkani as a language originally
branched out of Sanskrit.
On the website, the devanagari script will be represented in the ITRANS transliteration scheme. ITRANS
is a very easy and a logical transliteration scheme to replace the devanagri script on the web. Also
ITRANS format documents can be converted anytime to devanagari and vice-versa.
To learn more about this transliteration format, just search your favourite search engine for 'ITRANS'.
Having the konkani dictionary in this format provides easy portability and also opens up newer domains which could be explored
by following widely used standards.
