Excerpts from Glimpses from Ancient India, Part 2

UKT: I have to do a bit of editing.
The Indian calendar [month] is of 29.5 days. The month is divided into two halves called Paksha of 15 Thithees (Lunar days) each. The first half beginning with full moon and was called Purnimavasya and the second half beginning with new moon was called Amavashya or Bahaulvashya.
The fortnight beginning with the new moon was called Shuklpaksha and the dark half is called Krishnapaksha.
The calandar normally consists of 12 lunar months. This makes only 354 days, thus to cater for the difference with a solar year, a thirteenth month was added to the calendar after each 30 lunar months. This leap month was called Dvitiya Asadha or DvitiyaSravanna. It was added after asadha or sravanna month. Thus each second or third year had thirteen months.
Names of the months: 01. Chaitra (March - April), 02. Vaishakh
(April - May), 03. Jyaistha (May - June), 04. Ashadh (June -
July), 05. Sharavan (July - August), 06. Bhadrapada or
Parusthapada (August - September), 07. Ashivan or Asvayuja
(September - October), 08. Kartikka (October - November), 09.
Margasirsha or Agrahayana (November - December), 10. Pausa or
Taisa (December - January), 11. Magha (January-February), and 12.
Phalgun (February - March).
However during Vedic times the months were called Madhu, Madhava,
Shukra, Suchi, Nabhas, Nabhasya, Isa, Urja, Sahas, Tapas and Tapashya.
The correspondence between the modern names and Vedic names are:
01. Chaitra - Madhu , 02. Vaisakha - Madhav, 03. Jyeshta - Sukra, 04. Ashadha - Suchi,
05. Sravana - Nabha, 06. Bhadrapada - Nabhasya, 07. Asvina - Isha, 08. Kartika - Urja,
09. Margaseersha - Saha, 10. Pausha - Sahasya, 11. Magha - Tapa, 12. Phalguna - Tapasya
Extra/ impure month: Adhikamasa - Maliplucha

The seasons: a group of two months was called Ritu. The six seasons were Vasantha ( Spring, March - May), Grishma (Summers, May - July), Varsha (Rains, July - September), Sarad (Autumn, September - November), Hemantha (Winters, November - January), and Sishir (Cool season, January - March.)
Indian dates are normally given in the order of month, paksha and tithi and the abbreviation sudi or badi is used for the bright or dark halves of the month e.g. Chaitra sudi 7 means , seventh day from the new moon of the month of Chaitra .
The various Era's followed by Indians are :
• Vikramaditya Era - this started in 58 BC. It was started by Emperor
Vikramaditya to celebrate his victory over the Sakas and driving them out of
Ujjain.

78 AD.
• Gupta Era - started by Emperor Chandra Gupta in 320 AD.
• Harsh era - Started by Raja Harshavardhana of Kannauj in 606 AD.
• Kalachuri Era - Started in 248 AD by a small dynasty of Central India
called Traikutaka.
• Lakshmana Era - Started in Bengal in 1119 AD.
• Lichivi and Nevar Era of Nepal started in 110 Ad and 878 AD
respectively.
• Kollam Era of Malabar Started in 825 AD.
• Buddha Era started in 544 BC.
• Mahavir Era started in 528 BC.
• Off all the above, the Saka and Vikrama are the most widely
used eras.

During my work on Romabama, a transcription-transliteration between Burmese written in Myanmar script (Bur-Myan) and English written in Latin script (Eng-Lat), I have come to realize that there is a striking similarity between the Skt-Dev and Bur-Myan. We do not find such similarity between Bur-Myan and Pal-Myan.
This has led me to suggest that there might have been a direct link between
Burmese and Sanskrit. It is almost certain that the Magadha
{ma-ga.Da.} speech - the language of the Buddha - was imported into Tagaung
{ta.kaung:}
of northern Burma over land routes.
According to the chronicles it took place
once before the Gautama Buddha era, and secondly during the life-time of the
Buddha. The first incident took place when a kshatriya, King Abiraza after
losing his kingdom in northern India took refuge in Burma eventually founding
the city of Tagaung
{ta.kaung:}.
It should be expected that the Sanskrit speaking bramanas who would be
functioning as family priests would have accompanied the royal household. And so
we should expect both sibilant language (Sanskrit - an IndoEuropean language)
and thibilant language Magadhi (a Tibeto-Burman language) would have been
introduced into northern Myanmar years before the birth of the Buddha. We should
expect the local population of Pyu
{pyu} ,
who undoubted were Tibeto-Burman speakers would have come under the influence of
Indian languages more than 2500 years ago.
Magadhi, the ancient speech of Buddha a kshatriya himself, had become
influenced by the Pali from SriLanka beginning from the days of the Nalanda
University in the Pyu
{pyu} era
even before the ancient city of Pagan
{pu.gän}
was founded. This city has now been written in English as Bagan which
does not reflect the phonemic orthography in Bur-Myan.
See p059-2.htm for
{è:} and
p074.htm for
{kè:} 
In studying the vowels we must not forget the Two-three tone problem that exists between Indo-European languages such as English and Tibeto-Burman languages such as Burmese.
First of all we will take the case of the front open mid-vowels which are absent in English and Pali. They are present in Burmese and Sanskrit. It is interesting that in the {è:} orthography, the killed-{ya.} is used for the modal register.

Lately it has come to my notice that there is a language known as Mithili in
northern India bordering Nepal. See
The city of Mithila has been identified as modern day Janakpur in Dhanusa district of Nepal. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithila 120319
The people of Mithila (in India & Nepal) has a language known as Mithili.
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maithili_language 120324Mithila
{mait~hti-la} was the capital of Videha, now identified with Janakpur, a town in Southern Nepal. The rulers of Vidheha were called Janakas and in Hindu tradition are thought to have been great scholars. It is believed that they were the oldest among the clans migrated from the river Saraswati as the river started drying up. -- 120319
