Maharashtri KonkaniorKonkan Marathi,is a group of Konkanic dialects spoken in theKonkan divisionof theKonkan region.[2]George Abraham Grierson,aBritish Indianlinguist of the colonial era referred to these dialects as theKonkan Standard of Marathiin order to differentiate it inside theKonkani languagegroup.[3]
Because speakers ofGoan KonkaniandCanara 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].
