Maharashtri Konkani or Konkan Marathi, is a group of Konkanic dialects spoken in the Konkan division of the Konkan region. [2] George Abraham Grierson, a British Indian linguist of the colonial era referred to these dialects as the Konkan Standard of Marathi in order to differentiate it inside the Konkani language group. [3]
Because speakers of Goan Konkani and Canara Konkani, which are distinct and different sets of Konkani dialects, refer to their language as simply " Konkani", Maharashtri Konkani is often mistakenly extended to cover these dialect groups [ citation needed].
