Answer 2

Gomantak Marathas

The Maratha community is situated from Mumbai to Karwar. They are majorly found in Raigad, Sindhudurg, North Goa, the southern tip of South Goa and Karwar. The dialect of the Maratha community changes as per the region, although almost all of them are well-versed in Marathi which is the caste-language of the Marathas. Marathas in Raigad and Ratnagiri speak pure Marathi, while those in Sindhudurg speak the Malvani langguage, which is a creole between Marathi and Konkani. Those in Goa and Karwar speak Konkani. There are three subgroups among the Konkani Marathas - the Shahnav Kuli Marathas or the 96 Royal Clan Marathas, the Kunbi Marathas and the Gomantak Marathas. Aarmari Marathas is also supposed to be one of the ancient branches of Maratha root. They originally belong to coastal parts in Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg and Goa and traditionally worked in the Aarmar(Navy) of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
