DateTim...e::en_AE(3)

πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

DateTime::Locale::en_AE β€” okay bestie, this is the locale data examples page for the English United Arab Emirates (en-AE) locale. That's it, that's the whole job. It's user-contributed Perl documentation, and it's basically a giant show-and-tell of what every date and time looks like in this locale. πŸ’…βœ¨


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This pod file is literally just examples of the locale data that's available for the English United Arab Emirates locale. No cap β€” it's a lookbook. Every day name, month name, quarter, era, and format pattern this locale ships, all laid out so you can vibe-check them. πŸ¦‹

πŸ’– Days

Wide (format) β€” the full government names, in order:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Abbreviated (format) β€” the three-letter versions:

Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun

Narrow (format) β€” first letter only, and yes the duplicates are real, that's the entire bit:

M, T, W, T, F, S, S

Wide (stand-alone) β€” same as wide format, slaying on its own:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Abbreviated (stand-alone):

Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun

Narrow (stand-alone) β€” again with the twin Ts and Ss, it's giving chaos but it's correct:

M, T, W, T, F, S, S

πŸ¦‹ Months

Wide (format) β€” all twelve, no skips:

January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December

Abbreviated (format):

Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec

Narrow (format) β€” single letters, and yes M shows up twice and J shows up three times, don't @ me, that's just how narrow works:

J, F, M, A, M, J, J, A, S, O, N, D

Wide (stand-alone) β€” iconic on its own:

January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December

Abbreviated (stand-alone):

Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec

Narrow (stand-alone):

J, F, M, A, M, J, J, A, S, O, N, D

🧚 Quarters

Wide (format) β€” spelled all the way out:

1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, 4th quarter

Abbreviated (format) β€” cute and compact:

Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4

Narrow (format) β€” just the digit, minimalism:

1, 2, 3, 4

Wide (stand-alone):

1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, 4th quarter

Abbreviated (stand-alone):

Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4

Narrow (stand-alone):

1, 2, 3, 4

Heads up bestie β€” quarters get stand-alone variants, but eras don't. Keep reading, you'll see. πŸ‘€

🌈 Eras

Wide (format) β€” the full dramatic versions:

Before Christ, Anno Domini

Abbreviated (format):

BC, AD

Narrow (format):

B, A
