Confused between Hindi and Konkani - translation needed!

Eastrees82 · 12-27-2007, 04:51 PM

Hi there, i am desperately trying to translate some names into Konkani as my family is originally from Goa.
I need the following translated:

Stephen
Jacqui
Katie
Adam
Victoria

I was also wondering how large the difference is between the konkani and hindi scripts as researching this seems to be proving difficult!

Any reply would be greatly appreciated,
Many Thanks,

perhaps the same large difference between french and english scripts

(hindi use devanagari script)

Quote:

Konkani is written in a number of scripts. Brahmi was originally used but fell into disuse. Devanagari is the official script for Konkani in Goa. Roman script is also popular in Goa . The Kannada script is used amongst the Konkani population of Karnataka. Malayalam script is used by the Konkani community, centered around the cities of Cochin and Kozhikode in Kerala state. Konkani Muslims in coastal Maharashtra and Bhatkal taluka of Karnataka use Arabic script to write Konkani

Many Thanks for getting back to me, exactly what I needed to know!
do you have any recommendations as to where I could get those names translated into the Devanagari script that you mentioned?
