💅 `DateTim...e::ln_AO(3)` — like, the Lingala Angola locale but make it a manpage

okay so bestie, this is DateTim...e::ln_AO(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's lowkey just a big gorgeous show-and-tell of locale data. no cap, it's a vibe.

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::ln_AO — locale data examples for the Lingala Angola (ln-AO) locale 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the Lingala Angola locale. that's it, that's the whole thesis 💖 every single one of these lists is a real, exact example, so don't come for me about the diacritics — they're iconic and they stay.

bestie, notice how narrow format is out here giving single letters and there are literally four ms in a row. that's not a typo, that's just how it is 🙈 do not "fix" it.

ok 30:30 and 5:02 are sending me 💀 minutes and seconds with no hours, absolutely unhinged behaviour, but it's in the spec so we respect it.

`y` (y)

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

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = mps 15/9/-10

`yMMM` (MMM y)

...okay so we're picking up right in the middle of the format list, no biggie — here's the tail end of one of the month-abbreviation patterns (fbl = February, dsb = December, stb = September, in case you were squinting at it like I was 💀):

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

`yMMMEd (E d MMM y)`

The full day-of-week + day + month-abbrev + year combo, and honestly it ate:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = mbl 5 fbl 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = mtn 22 dsb 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = mps 15 stb -10

`yMMMM (y MMMM)`

Year first, then the full month name — this one's giving very "calendar header that knows its worth" energy:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 sánzá ya míbalé
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 sánzá ya zómi na míbalé
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 sánzá ya libwa

`yMMMd (d MMM y)`

Day, abbreviated month, year. Simple, clean, slay:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 5 fbl 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22 dsb 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15 stb -10

`yMd (d/M/y)`

The all-numbers-all-the-time look — day/month/year, no words, no notes:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 5/2/2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22/12/1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15/9/-10

Okay but bestie, clock the 15/9/-10 — negative years are wild and yes, that's really what it renders. 🙈

`yQQQ (QQQ y)`

Quarter abbreviations, short and punchy. SM = sánzá mísáto, the quarter/three-month block:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = SM1 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = SM4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = SM3 -10

`yQQQQ (QQQQ y)`

Same quarters but spelled all the way out, main-character edition 👑:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = sánzá mísáto ya yambo 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = sánzá mísáto ya mínei 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = sánzá mísáto ya mísáto -10

`yw-count-other ('week' w 'of' Y)`

Week-of-year, with the literal words week and of baked in. Yes, in English, even though everything else here is Lingala — that's just how this locale rolls, no cap:

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

A couple of quick facts, and they're lowkey iconic:

Prefers 24 hour time? → Yes (no AM/PM chaos here, we're built different 🕗)
Local first day of the week → 1 (mokɔlɔ mwa yambo) — week starts on day 1, and its name is literally mokɔlɔ mwa yambo 🎀

Strftime Patterns

The classic strftime-style formats, in all their retro glory ✨

`%c (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y)` - date time format

The whole enchilada: weekday abbrev, month abbrev, day, 24-hour clock, year.

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = mbl fbl  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = mtn dsb 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = mps stb 15 04:44:23 -10

Not me noticing the double space in fbl 5 up there — that's %e, which space-pads single-digit days. It's in the original, it's staying, periodt. 💅

`%x (%m/%d/%y)` - date format

Month/day/year, two-digit year, very much this side of the Atlantic:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/05/08
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 09/15/10

`%X (%H:%M:%S)` - time format

Just the clock, 24-hour, seconds included because we're thorough 🫶:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 18:30:30
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09:05:02
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44:23
