== Some calendars in this Template which "New Year" are not on 1 January, and therefore should have dual year numbers ==

Some of the calendars in this Template are giving the idea that they have their "New Year" at 1 January (Gregorian), although this is not the case, because in the Template only one year number is given. This is true of the Armenian calendar (should be "1470-1471"; Armenian New Year will occur on 22 July 2021, and from that date the Armenian year number will be "1471"), the Bengali calendar (should be "1427-1428"; Bengali New Year will occur on 14 April 2021 (in Bangladesh) or on 15 April 2021 (in India), and only from that date the Bengali year number will be "1428"), the "Buddhist" calendar (should be "2564-2565"; "Buddhist" New Year will occur in mid-April 2021 (different dates in different locations), and only from those dates the "Buddhist" year number will be "2565"), the Burmese calendar (should be "1382-1383"; Burmese New Year will occur on 15 April 2021, and only from that date the Burmese year number will be "1383") and the (Mool) Nanakshahi (Sikh) calendar (should be "552-553"; (Mool) Nanakshahi New Year will occur on 14 March 2021, and only from that date the (Mool) Nanakshahi year number will be "553"). These are the most "flagrant" cases, but also the "Ab urbe condita" (Varronian era), the modern, highly neologistic "Assyrian calendar", the Berber calendar, the (South) Korean calendar, and the "Thai solar calendar" have, at least for ordinary people in respective country, their "New Year" different from 1 January (Gregorian). /Erik Ljungstrand (Sweden)

Some calendars in this Template which "New Year" are not on 1 January, and therefore should have dual year numbers

Some of the calendars in this Template are giving the idea that they have their "New Year" at 1 January (Gregorian), although this is not the case, because in the Template only one year number is given. This is true of the Armenian calendar (should be "1470-1471"; Armenian New Year will occur on 22 July 2021, and from that date the Armenian year number will be "1471"), the Bengali calendar (should be "1427-1428"; Bengali New Year will occur on 14 April 2021 (in Bangladesh) or on 15 April 2021 (in India), and only from that date the Bengali year number will be "1428"), the "Buddhist" calendar (should be "2564-2565"; "Buddhist" New Year will occur in mid-April 2021 (different dates in different locations), and only from those dates the "Buddhist" year number will be "2565"), the Burmese calendar (should be "1382-1383"; Burmese New Year will occur on 15 April 2021, and only from that date the Burmese year number will be "1383") and the (Mool) Nanakshahi (Sikh) calendar (should be "552-553"; (Mool) Nanakshahi New Year will occur on 14 March 2021, and only from that date the (Mool) Nanakshahi year number will be "553"). These are the most "flagrant" cases, but also the "Ab urbe condita" (Varronian era), the modern, highly neologistic "Assyrian calendar", the Berber calendar, the (South) Korean calendar, and the "Thai solar calendar" have, at least for ordinary people in respective country, their "New Year" different from 1 January (Gregorian). /Erik Ljungstrand (Sweden)
