Maharashtrian Konkani more commonly spelt as Maharashtri Kokani is a group of Konkanic dialects spoken in the Konkan region.[2] George Abraham Grierson, a British linguist of the colonial era referred to these dialects as the Konkan Standard of Marathi in order to differentiate it inside the Konkani language group.[3]

It is often mistakenly extended to cover Goan Konkani and Canara Konkani,[citation needed] which are distinct and different sets of Konkani dialects, because speakers of these dialect groups refer to their language as simply "Konkani".[citation needed]
