💅 NAME 💅

Okay so first things first: this is DateTime::Locale::ak — and it's basically your cheat sheet to all the locale data examples for the Akan (ak) locale. 🎀

Also gotta give credit where it's due: this page lives under the User Contributed Perl Documentation, which is the manual it ships in. Very "a kind stranger on the internet did this for free" of it, and honestly? Iconic.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This pod file is literally just a whole showcase of sample locale data for the Akan locale — days, months, quarters, eras, and a truly unhinged number of format examples. Buckle up bestie, we're going through all of it. 🦋

Note bestie: format and stand-alone are identical here for all three widths — that's just the vibe of this locale, no cap. 💅

Yes, the abbreviated months are literally identical to the wide ones. Yes, that's how it is. Yes, it's a slay. 🫶

Keep an eye on the capitalisation up there — Kɔta a ɛdi kan starts with a capital K, but kɔta a ɛtɔ so mmienu starts lowercase. Not a typo, that's the data, so copy it exactly. 👑

Eras don't get a stand-alone set here — only format. Respect the structure, bestie. ✨

See how EW and AN are the day-period markers here, and UTC only shows up in Full/Long? That's the whole difference, bestie. 🕐

Omg bestie we're in the thick of the locale tables now, and this is where the Akan locale (ak) really starts showing off 🎀 Every single one of these is literal output from formatting the same three timestamps: 2008-02-05T18:30:30, 1995-12-22T09:05:02, and -0010-09-15T04:44:23.

  • Local first day of the week — 1 (Dwoada) 🫶 that's Monday for the record

⭐ Strftime Patterns

This is the strftime-flavoured side of things, same three timestamps, three different strftime patterns. It's giving "same data, different outfit" 💖

💜 SUPPORT

  • See DateTime::Locale — that's the whole support section bestie, she's lowkey minimal and I respect it 😌
Heads up: everything above is the locale data for the ak (Akan) locale — the strings are already rendered for you, so don't go chasing extra behaviour that isn't written here, mkay? 🙈

And that's a wrap on this page, diva 💅 brought to you by perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12 — fr fr, iykyk, go format some dates and slay ✨👑
