Abstract: On a para-quaternionic K"ahler manifold (widetildeM4n,Q,widetildeg), which is first of all a pseudo-Riemannian manifold, a natural definition of (almost) K"ahler and (almost) para-K"ahler submanifold (M2m,mathcalJ,g) can be given where mathcalJ=J1|M is a (para-)complex structure on M which is the restriction of a section J1 of the para-quaternionic bundle Q. In this paper, we extend to such a submanifold M most of the results proved by Alekseevsky and Marchiafava, 2001, where Hermitian and K"ahler submanifolds of a quaternionic K"ahler manifold have been studied. Conditions for the integrability of an almost (para-)Hermitian structure on M are given. Assuming that the scalar curvature of widetildeM is non zero, we show that any almost (para-)K"ahler submanifold is (para-)K"ahler and moreover that M is (para-)K"ahler iff it is totally (para-)complex. Considering totally (para-)complex submanifolds of maximal dimension 2n, we identify the second fundamental form h of M with a tensor C=J2circhinTMotimesS2T*M where J2inQ is a compatible para-complex structure anticommuting with J1. When widetildeM4n is a symmetric manifold the condition for a (para-)K"ahler submanifold M2n to be locally symmetric is given. In the case when widetildeM is a para-quaternionic space form, it is shown, by using Gauss and Ricci equations, that a (para-)K"ahler submanifold M2n is curvature invariant. Moreover it is a locally symmetric Hermitian submanifold iff the mathfraku(n)-valued 2-form [C,C] is parallel. %[C,C]: Xwedge Y mapsto [C_X,C_Y], qquad quad X,Y in TM %(which satisfies the first and the second Bianchi identity) is parallel. Finally a characterization of extit{parallel} K"ahler and para-K"ahler submanifold of maximal dimension is given.
