Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Lalit Sati

Non-PRO (1): Amar Nath

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

शके Saka मेरी समझ से यहाँ पर 1892 Saka या Saka Era 1892 या Saka Year 1892 के रूप में ही लिखा जाना चाहिए। विस्तृत जानकारी मेरे द्वारा प्रदत्त उत्तर में वर्णित लिंकों में मिल सकती है।

Shakya Shakya or Sakya or Shak or Sak and Shaka or Saka are one an the same thing only difference is of the pronunciation. It is customary in India to pronounce Sh- in different ways such as S- or even as H-. In any way the Shakya Samvat is the Shakya Era followed in India alongside other Calender systems like Bikrmi-Samvat and Saptrishi Samvat. This is because of cultural diversity of India. So long as Sh-<>S-is concerned we have examples as Shankh<>Sankh, Shakti<>Sakti, Shagun<>Sagun, Shanti<>Santi and many more.

Saka 1892

The Indian national calendar (sometimes called Saka calendar) is the official civil calendar in use in India. It is used, alongside the Gregorian calendar, by the Gazette of India, news broadcasts by All India Radio, and calendars and communications issued by the Government of India.
The term may also ambiguously refer to the Hindu calendar, and the Saka era is commonly used by different calendars as well.

The Shalivahana era, also known as the Saka era, is used with Hindu calendars, the Indian national calendar, and the Cambodian Buddhist calendar. Its year zero begins near the vernal equinox of the year 78

Sakya 1892, i.e. AD 1759/1760

Sakya or Tibetan or Chinese Year begins in Feb. or March; it is a lunar calendar, but after every three years, there is an extra month in the calendar to adjust it to the Solar calendar.

2008 was the year of the earth Mouse (2135).

Sakya is the name of the tribe/community from which Buddha arose; that is why he is also called Sakya-Muni (Saky Saint).

Shake 1892

There is no translation for the word Shake as that term is related to Hindu Religion. So it is written phonetically. The year of Shake is calculated by subtracting 78 from the current English Year. (e.g Year 2009 is Shake 1931).
Example sentence:

Year 2009 is Shake 1931.

Saka Era 1892, or SE 1892

The most common practice to mention Shalivahana era, which is also known as the Saka era, is to write as : Saka Era 1892, or often shortened as S E 1892.
But please note that the shortened form, SE, is not as common as the Christian counterpart, AD. So I think, in the case of certificates, the term should be rendered as: Saka Era 1892.
Example sentence:

Rabindranath Tagore was born on Monday, May 7th, (Vaisakha 25, Saka Era 1783, Bengali Era 1268). (Source:http://www.visva-bharati.ac.in/Rabindranath/Contents/Contents.htm)

As Ramesh Bhat has also mentioned that this system of Calender is Followed in China and Tibet and that " Sakya is the name of the tribe/community from which Buddha arose; that is why he is also called Sakya-Muni (Saky Saint)." There is sufficient material to suggest that Shakya or Sakya system of Calender is of Buddhist origin and hence a system of Indian Calender.
