Abstract: The pseudo-Riemannian manifold $M=(M^{4n},g),ngeq2$ is para-quaternionic K" ahler if $hol(M)subsetsp(n,RR)oplussp(1,RR).$ If $hol(M)subsetsp(n,RR),$ than the manifold $M$ is called para-hyperK" ahler. The other possible definitions of these manifolds use certain parallel para-quaternionic structures in $End(TM),$ similarly to the quaternionic case. In order to relate these different definitions we study para-quaternionic algebras in details. We describe the reduction method for the para-quaternionic K" ahler and para-hyperK" ahler manifolds and give some examples. The decomposition of a curvature tensor of the para-quaternionic type is also described.
