🦋 DateTime::Locale::en_LV ✨

okay so this whole page is the manual for DateTime::Locale::en_LV(3) — part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation — and it's literally just a big glossy lookbook of every single locale data value the English Latvia (en-LV) locale ships with 💅 no cap, it's reference material, but it's our reference material now.

🌸 NAME 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨
