[edit] Discussion

[edit] shit/sheeth

i see someone changed the season "shit" to "sheeth". although i totally understand that seeing a bangla word written "shit" will look funny to any english speaker, changing it to "sheeth" would not follow the transliteration system used in all the other articles about bangla. furthermore, it would be inconsistent even with the rest of the spellings in the calendar - since the same underlying vowels and consonants are being transcribed "i" and "t" in other words ("kartik", not "kartheek", "hemonto", not "hemontho", etc.). anyhow, if it bothers people, i'd prefer we just remove all the seasons, but not just have one of them mistransliterated. --SameerKhan 07:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

How about adding proper diacritics, then: śīta --Raga 21:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

that still doesn't solve the problem. the words are romanized here following the system set in the bangla and bangla script pages. neither sheeth nor śīta follows those. basically, i just don't see why people are so afraid of writing "shit". i don't think a german page would avoid writing the word "dick" ('fat') just because of its english meaning. this seems immature. --SameerKhan 00:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Star names

Added star names in bengali, someone please further look into, for further correction. Thanks. Need more practice in this, to become more fluent. ~Tarikash 11:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Name

Should we rename this page "Bengali calendar", to match with "Bengali language", "Bengali script", etc.? It's strange that this is the only part of "Bengali culture" that uses the name "Bangla" instead of "Bengali". --SameerKhan 03:02, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Naming was discussed earlier in other Bangla/Bengali pages. And the conclusion is to use Bengali instead of Bangla. It should be moved to Bengali calendar and Bangla calendar should point to it. Auyon 07:35, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References?

Such a long article, without ext links or references??--WoodElf 07:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

Since all the month articles are stub, are will probably never become full articles, I suggest the twelve month articles be merged with the Bengali calendar main article.--WoodElf 15:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
