🌸 `DateTime::Locale::asa`(3) — locale data examples for the Asu (`asa`) locale 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Asu locale data page ✨ this is a user contributed Perl documentation page, section 3 of the manual, for DateTime::Locale::asa — and it's literally just a gorgeous little show-and-tell of every scrap of locale data the Asu (asa) locale ships with. no cap, it's all examples, and you're gonna eat it up 💅

💖 NAME 💖

DateTime::Locale::asa — locale data examples for the Asu (asa) locale 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this pod file (yes, pod file, we love a documentation format 👑) contains examples of the locale data available for the Asu locale. that's it, that's the whole vibe — every section below is just receipts of what the data actually looks like 🌸

🌈 Days 🌈

the days of the week, and the way that they show up differently depending on whether you're formatting a date or reading a standalone day name, and whether you want the wide, abbreviated, or narrow flavour. vibe check: wide and stand-alone are the same, abbreviated and stand-alone are the same, narrow and stand-alone are the same — but we're showing all six anyway because thoroughness is main character energy 💅

🌞 Wide (format)

Jumatatu
Jumanne
Jumatano
Alhamisi
Ijumaa
Jumamosi
Jumapili

🌤️ Abbreviated (format)

Jtt
Jnn
Jtn
Alh
Ijm
Jmo
Jpi

✨ Narrow (format)

J

A

not three of these being literally the same letter J 😭 that's not a bug, that's just what narrow means — single characters, collisions and all 💀

🌞 Wide (stand-alone)

💜 Date Formats 💜

okay so here's where it gets fun — same three timestamps rendered at four different verbosity levels. the three timestamps are always the same three, so you can compare directly 🫶

1995-12-22T09:05:02
-0010-09-15T04:44:23

and yes that last one is a negative year — -10 — and the locale literally renders it as -10. no drama, no extra padding, just minus ten 🔥
