'''[[Msgr]] Sebastião Rodolfo Dalgado''' ([[Konkani]] [[devnagri script]]: सॆबास्तियाँव रॊदॊल्फ़ो दाल्गादॊ; [[Konkani]] '[[romi script]]' : Sebastiaom Rodolf Dalgad; 8 May 1855 – 4 April 1922) was an [[Indian people|Indo]]-[[Portuguese people|Portuguese]] [[Catholic]] priest, academic, university professor, theologian, [[Orientalism|orientalist]] and [[Linguistics|linguist]].

Dalgado distinguished himself as a linguist and etymologist in the study of the influences of the Portuguese language on a number of languages of [[Southeast Asia]]. He was a corresponding member of the [[Lisbon Academy of Sciences]], elected on July 27, 1911. He also became widely renowned during his lifetime as a [[Konkani]] language [[scholar]].

==Early life==
Sebastião Rodolfo Dalgado, was born in [[Assagao]], [[Bardez]], Goa,<ref>{{Harvnb|Pereira|1983|p=7}}</ref> to a [[Goan Catholic]] family of the [[Roman Catholic Brahmin|Bamonn]] caste.<ref name="Dalgado"/> He had six brothers and a sister. The family's pre-conversion surname was Desai, replaced by the [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]] surname [[Dalgado]], after conversion to Christianity.<ref name="Dalgado">{{harvnb|Dalgado|Soares|1988|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=3qk-p5hKuccC&pg=PR12 57]}}</ref>

The second son of Ambrose Dalgado, a landowner in Bardez, and Florinda Rosa de Souza, he had six brothers and one sister. Among the siblings were [[Daniel Gelásio Dalgado]], a medical director of the health services from [[Sawantwadi]] and an eminent botanist; Patrocínio Dalgado, ophthalmologist; and Eduardo Dalgado, a lawyer in Lisbon.

==Career==
After completing his elementary studies in [[Assagao]], the young Dalgado completed his secondary education in [[Mapusa]] and joined the [[Rachol Seminary]], near [[Margao]], from where he was ordained a priest in 1881.

Considered the best student of his course, he was selected for further studies and then went on to Rome, where he enrolled at the [[Seminary of St. Apollinaris]].

In Rome his doctorate was in [[Canon Law]] and [[Roman Law]].

==Return from Lisbon==

After a brief stay in Lisbon in 1884, he returned to Goa as a missionary, where the then [[Patriarch of the East Indies]], Don [[António Sebastião Valente]], appointed him as the inspector of schools and workshops of the [[Padroado do Oriente]] and as a professor of Scripture and Canon Law at the [[Seminary of Rachol]], where he formerly studied. He also functioned as an ecclesiastical judge in Goa.

Subsequently, he was intensely involved in religious activity in India, and then became [[vicar general]] of the [[island of Ceylon]], particularly of the Portuguese mission in the city of [[Colombo]], which had been abolished by [[Concordat of 1886]].

Later, he served at [[Calcutta]], where he founded a school for girls and a dispensary for the poor in [[Nagori]], and [[Dhaka]].

==Close contacts with languages==

All this activity enabled him to forge close contacts with various language communities, thus allowing him to acquire a mastery of several Indian languages, including [[Malayalam]], [[Kannada]], [[Tamil language|Tamil]], [[Marathi language|Marathi]], [[Sinhalese language|Sinhala]] and [[Bengali language|Bengali]]. Learning some of these languages was made easier due to his deep knowledge of [[Sanskrit]].

Between 1893 and 1895 he was vicar-general in [[Honnavar]], today in the State of Karnataka. There he served a community of Konkani and Kannada speakers, the latter being a language he learnt. It took some time in [[Sawantwadi]], with his brother Gelasius Dalgado, who was a doctor there, for him to learn other dialects of Konkani.

When he was vicar general of [[Ceylon]], he declined to accept the bishop's mitre that the [[Congregation of Propaganda Fide]] had offered him, probably in the context of the dispute between Portugal and the [[Holy See]] on the extent and powers of the [[Patronage of the East]] ([[Padroado]]).

During his stay in [[Ceylon]], he wrote several sermons and homilies in the Indo-Portuguese dialect of Ceylon. His other work included ''[[The Indo-Portuguese Dialect of Ceylon]],'' published in 1900 in ''Contributions of the Geographical Society of Lisbon'', done in commemoration of the centenary of the European discovery of sea route to India.

==Dictionaries==

His first published work was the first part of ''Konkani-Portuguese Dictionary'', written using the [[Devanagari]] alphabet and the Roman script, and which was published in 1893 in the city of Bombay, now known as [[Mumbai]].

In 1895 he settled in [[Lisbon]], where he completed the publication of the ''Konkani-Portuguese Dictionary'' (which was out in 1905) and devoted himself to study the influence of [[English language|English]] on the languages of the [[Indian subcontinent]].

In view of its studies published, in 1907 he was appointed Professor of Sanskrit in the [[Curso Superior de Letras]], which was founded in 1859 by D. [[Pedro V]] in [[Lisbon]]. This institution later on went on to become the nucleus of the Faculty of Arts of the [[University of Lisbon]].

==Recognition==

In 1911 he was elected corresponding member of the [[Academy of Sciences]], and received the title of ''Doutor em Letras'', which was granted by the Council of the Faculty of Arts of Lisbon (''Conselho da Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa'').

He suffered from [[diabetes]], which ultimately resulted in the amputation of both his legs (in 1911 and 1915.) From that point onwards, Dalgado used a wheelchair.

Because of his handicap, the Faculty of Humanities granted him the privilege of performing his duties from his home, where his students gathered around him to hear his lessons. He also undertook the daily celebration of Mass in his wheelchair, with special religious permission.

When he died, on 4 April 1922, his funeral rites reflected the wide prestige that had won. In attendance were the Patriarch of Lisbon, the Apostolic Nuncio in Lisbon, the Minister of Education and representatives of colleges and academies of Lisbon.

The funeral eulogy was delivered by Canon [[José de Santa Rita e Sousa]], professor of the ''Escola Superior Colonial'', where he taught the chair of Konkani language. The press coverage was large, reflecting throughout the Lusophone world.

He was an eminent [[philologist]], publishing, among other works, the ''Glossário Luso-Asiático'' in two volumes, full-text versions of which are available online today. He was also the author of outstanding works in the field of Portuguese [[Orientalism]] such as ''The Indo-Portuguese dialect of Ceylon''; ''Konkani-Portuguese Dictionary''; ''The Indo-Portuguese dialect of Mumbai and suburbs''; ''Influencia do vocabulário português em línguas asiáticas'' (The Influence of Portuguese Vocables in Asian Languages); ''The Indo-Portuguese Dialects of Goa, Daman and Ceylon''; ''Fundamentals of the Sanskrit language'', and ''Indian Proverbs''.

His works have earned high praise, including that of Dr. [[Aniceto dos Reis Gonçalves Viana|Gonçalves Viana]] who appreciated his work ''The Influence of Portuguese Vocables in Asian Languages'' and said ''that perhaps no other wise person, Portuguese or foreign, could carry it out satisfactorily''.

The Brazilian philologist Dr. [[Solidonio Leite]] said that "Monsignor Dalgado could undertake and carry out those works that attest to exceptional value of this great man".<ref>[http://www.supergoa.com/pt/read/news_cronica.asp?c_news=286 Monsignor Rodolfo Dalgado (1855–1922)] {{in lang|pt}}</ref>

In recognition of his work in 1904, he received the honour of honorary chaplain of the Pope's ''extra urbem'', with the right to use the title of "[[Monsignor]]". He was a member of the [[Lisbon Geographic Society]] (1895), a member of the [[Institute of Coimbra]] (1896), Doctor ''Honoris Causa'' from the Faculty of Arts, University of Lisbon (1911), corresponding member Academy of Sciences (1911) and its member (1922) and a member of the [[Royal Asiatic Society]] in [[London]] (1921).

In 1922, the [[Academy of Sciences of Lisbon]], which bequeathed the 300 documents that constitute the Monsignor Dalgado Fund, admitted him posthumously as a member. Along with [[Shenoi Goembab]] and [[Joaquim Heliodoró da Cunha Rivara]], Sebastião Rodolfo Dalgado is widely considered to be a pioneer in the defence of the [[Konkani]] language.

The city of Lisbon honoured him with a place named after him, to a wide locality in the parish of [[São Domingos de Benfica]]. In 1955 the ''Correios do Estado da Índia'' (postal department of the Estado da Índia) issued a postage stamp of a one real denomination, to mark the centenary of the birth of Monsignor Sebastiao Rodolfo Delgado, accompanied by a postcard with his photograph.

In 1989, the [[Goan]] state capital of [[Panjim]] saw the creation of the [[Dalgado Konkani Academy]], an academy to promote the use of the [[Konkani language]] in the Latin alphabet (the [[Konkani in the Roman script|''Konkani Romi lipi'']]). The [[Dalgado Konkani Academy]] has also established the Monsignor Sebastiao Rudolfo Dalgado Award to be awarded annually for activities to promote the study and use of Konkani.<ref>[http://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@goanet.org/msg25931.html Msgr Sebastiao Rodolfo Dalgado Award 2005].</ref>
