DateTim...e::ak_GH(3)
okay so bestie, welcome to DateTime::Locale::ak_GH(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection — this is the manual page for DateTime::Locale::ak_GH, aka the locale data examples for the Akan Ghana (ak-GH) locale. This is part 1 of 2, and we are going to go through every single string like it's a receipts drop in the group chat. 💅✨

three whole eras, three whole vibes: a 2008 moment, a December 1995 moment, and then negative year ten just existing, iconic honestly 🫶
🗓️ yMd (y/M/d)
the slashes-and-numbers classic:
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008/2/5
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995/12/22
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10/9/15
🗓️ yQQQ (QQQ y)
quarter name first, year after — very "abbreviated quarter energy":
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Kɔta1 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Kɔta4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Kɔta3 -10
🗓️ yQQQQ (QQQQ y)
same deal but the quarter is spelled all the way out, no abbreviations, main character behaviour:
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Kɔta a ɛdi kan 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Kɔta a ɛtɔ so nnan 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Kɔta a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa -10
🗓️ yw-count-other ('week' w 'of' Y)
the week-numbering one, and yes it literally says "week … of …":
2008-02-05T18:30:30 = week 6 of 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = week 51 of 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = week 37 of -10
🎀 Miscellaneous 🎀
the lil settings that shape everything else, and they're short so let's go:
Prefers 24 hour time?
No. twelve-hour girlie through and through 💅
Local first day of the week
1 (Dwoada) — that's the local first day, literally 1 (Dwoada) ✨
⏰ Strftime Patterns ⏰
okay so these are the big three strftime shortcuts and they each come with their own formula, obsessed:
