With the continued insistence of some Marathis that Konkani was a dialect of Marathi and not an independent language, the matter was finally placed before the Sahitya Akademi.
A Committee of linguistic experts was appointed to settle the dispute. On 26 February 1975, the Committee, after due deliberations, came to the conclusion that Konkani was indeed an independent and literary language with it being classified as an Indo-European language.
Konkani was included in the Eight Schedule of the Constitution of India, as per the Seventy-First Amendment on 20 August 1992, adding it to the list of National Languages.
It is an independent language.
