Source-derived summary

Thinkhaya II of Toungoo (Burmese: သင်္ခယာ ငယ်, pronounced [θɪ̀ɴkʰəjà ŋɛ̀]; also Thinkhaya Nge and Sit Kya Thinkhaya) was viceroy of Toungoo (Taungoo) from 1415 to 1418/19. He succeeded his father in 1415 but died just over three years later when an army from an eastern Shan state raided Toungoo (Taungoo). He is also known as "Sit Kya Thinkhaya" (စစ်ကျ သင်္ခယာ, "Thinkhaya who Fell in Action").

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Thinkhaya II of Toungoo” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1415, 1418, 2003, 1832—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Thinkhaya, Toungoo and Open-knowledge can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28231372. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1415, 1418, 2003 and 1832.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
