Certain places are always prefexed with "the" in the English language - e.g., "the Dangs", not "Dangs"; "the Netherlands", not "Netherlands". In like manner, the Konkan is always "the Konkan" not merely "Konkan". Honestly, though, I do not know why. Idiomatic English, I guess.

Dear Konknni friends,
Konkani Wikipedia has been started and been in test stage since August 2006.
Kindly contribute towards the Konkani wikipedia. We intend to make it a multiscript
Wikipeida. At least tri-script with Roman ,Devanangiri and Kannada scripts since these are the most popular ones.
We would like to get more articles/templates in place. We also need volunteers to do the thankless and boring job of transliterating it to different scripts .
As of now only two members are making active contributions. The more the merrier. Your contribution is vital to its success.
