Like rest of Maharashtra, Marathi is widely understood by locals. Conversing in English is not very advisable. A regional language-Malwani (dialect of Konkani or sometimes also defined as creole between Konkani and Marathi) is almost exclusively employed language. Goan Konkani is also spoken/ widely understood, though mostly Christians use it regularly.
