Historian tamtak ten an rindan chuan kum 1582 khan France chuan Council of Trent in kum 1563 an lo rel angin, Julian calendar atangin Gregorian calendarah hun an thlak a. Chunglai vel chuan mi tam takin January ni 1 a kumthar chu la hai foin, March kartawp berah chuan kumthar an la hmang ta fo mai a. Chutianga kumthar haiho hnungah chuan lehkhaa “poisson d’avril” (April fish) tih inziak te chu bel sak thin. Naupang bum awltak ang mai an nihna an tarlan fiamthu sak thin a ni.

England lamah pawh kum zabi 18 na lai vel khan darh ve zela. Scotland ah chuan ni hnih awh, “hunting the gowk,” an tih mai mi an buma engemaw tih tur awm angin an tir thin a ni. Scottish tawng chuan ‘gowk’ hi cuckoo sava, mâwl entirnana hman a ni.

Mi thenkhat sawi leh danah chuan Gregorian calendar an hman hnu kum 200 ah pawh America a European pemlut ho chuan March thlatawp emaw kumthar an la tih reng avanga rawn in irhchhuak ni te pawhin an sawi.

Engpawh nise, Julian calendar kha Julius Caesar khan BC 45 naa a siam daih tawh kha ani a. Khatah khan thla 11 awmin, thla khatah ni 30 leh 31 te awmin, February ah chuan ni 28 a awmtir a, hei hi kum 4 ah zel ni 29 a awm thung. Hei hi a dik thawkhat viau nangin solar calendar ah chuan kum khatah minute 11 1/2 in a tlai hret thin. Chumi lek pawh chu nise kum an vei meuh chuan nasa takin hun alo ti danglam hman thin a ni. Kum zabi 16 na an thlen meuh chuan ni 10 laiin hun a ti khawtlai ta tlat mai.

Tichuan, kum 1582 alo thleng ta a, Pope Gregory XIII pawh chuan calendar thar a siam tir ta a ni. Chumi chu tun thlenga kan la hmang ta anih chu.

(In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered the advancement of the calendar by 10 days and introduced a new corrective device to curb further error: century years such as 1700 or 1800 would no longer be counted as leap years, unless they were (like 1600 or 2000) divisible by 400.

If somewhat inelegant, this system is undeniably effective, and is still in official use in the United States. The Gregorian calendar year differs from the solar year by only 26 seconds—accurate enough for most mortals, since this only adds up to one day’s difference every 3,323 years.)
