Talk:Mon kingdoms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mon kingdoms is part of WikiProject Myanmar (Burma), a project to improve all Myanmar (Burma)-related articles. If you would like to help improve this and other Myanmar (Burma)-related articles, please join the project. All interested editors are welcome.

This article is about a person, place, or concept whose name is originally rendered in the Burmese script; however the article does not have that version of its name in the article's lead paragraph. Anyone who is knowledgeable enough with the original language is invited to assist in adding the Burmese script.
  • In addition, depending on the subject matter, the name may also need to be rendered in other local languages, such as Shan or Karen, and help of this nature is greatly appreciated and most welcomed.

For more information, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Burmese).

I just realized that there really are more lines of Mon monarchs than the early modern one in lower Burma (c. 1287-1539). There's also Haripunchai. These can be added to this page later, if someone wants or if I get to that point. This table serves as a to do list of monarchs to write articles for, everyone that doesn't have a link.

I guess "Ramanya" or "Ramannadesa" is good, but the name that this kingdom used to refer to iself should really be used. Perhaps Mon inscriptions would answer this question, better look at Shorto's dictionary of Mon inscriptions. "Monarchs" seems to be a Wikipedia standard.(Jonfernquest 15:43, 11 August 2006 (UTC))
