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. 💅✨

examples continue in part 2

carrying right on, bestie 💖 — the last of the long-form date patterns (the one that spells the month all the way out) hits like this:

          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Ɔpɛnimma 22, 1995

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:

%c (%a %d %b %Y %T) — date time format

the full date-plus-time combo platter:

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Ben 05 Ɔgyefoɔ 2008 18:30:30
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Fia 22 Ɔpɛnimma 1995 09:05:02
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Mem 15 Ɛbɔ -10 04:44:23

%x (%Y/%m/%d) — date format

date only, slashed, zero-padded, zero notes:

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008/02/05
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995/12/22
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10/09/15

%X (%r) — time format

time only, and it uses the %r pattern — peep the EW / AN markers, not your usual AM/PM 🦋

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 06:30:30 EW
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09:05:02 AN
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44:23 AN
