LOCALISATION REQUEST: Karnataka Konkani

[chasingdragonflies]

By the request of a professor from mangalore, I am adding this. The konkani speakers in karnataka have a little different grammar and vocabulary than goan konkani. They also mainly write in kannada script. The state of karnataka has konkani speakers (~46,00,000) of a similar size to Goa's konkani speakers. Hence it vital to include them. They also have 42 dialects spanning across 3 religions (hindu, muslim, christians)
