Talk:Taank Kingdom

Questionable veracity[edit]

पाटलिपुत्र, have you ever come across this "kingdom" in literature? TrangaBellam (talk) 20:10, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TrangaBellam: Not much really. It seems that it is essentially surmized from the description by Xuanzang and other Chinese sources [1][2][3]. The Chinese name is 磔迦 (Zhejia) 吒社 (Zhāshè, ie Takshar), among other variations p.107. पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 20:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the Kingdom "Takka" also appears in this Atlas in the same general location [4]. पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 12:06, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@पाटलिपुत्र:, @TrangaBellam:, @Sutyarashi: I just made a digging and saw that "Takka" is by far the WP:COMMONNAME.^[1]^[2]^[3] Even then map source by Schwartzberg goes by the Takka etymology.^[4] The name "Taank" is virtually nonexistent in literature and sources. Cunningham also never mentions such thing as Taank.^[5] I moved the page to Takka Kingdom, but Sutyarashi is hesitant to the contribution. Can someone prove here that "Taank" is the common name and the page should continue by this name. Jamal047 (talk) 12:17, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
