💖 NAME 💖

DateTime::Locale::mgh — hey bestie, this is the locale data examples page for the Makhuwa-Meetto (mgh) locale. ✨ It's the one your terminal abbreviates to DateTim...ale::mgh(3) because screens are small and life is unfair — it lives in section 3, User Contributed Perl Documentation. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, short version: this pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the Makhuwa-Meetto locale. That's literally the whole description — everything below is just the receipts, and there are a lot of receipts. 🧾

🗓️ Days

Seven days, and yes they show up in both format and stand-alone flavors, because locale data is extra like that. 💅

Wide (format) 👑

Jumatatu
Jumanne
Jumatano
Arahamisi
Ijumaa
Jumamosi
Sabato

The fully-spelled-out lineup: Jumatatu, Jumanne, Jumatano, Arahamisi, Ijumaa, Jumamosi, and Sabato closing the week out. 🎀

Abbreviated (format) ✂️

Jtt
Jnn
Jtn

The glow-down versions, same order, zero surprises.

Narrow (format) 🌸

Bestie, no — you're not seeing triple. Three of these are literally just J, and that is the actual data, not a typo, don't come for me 💀

Wide (stand-alone) 👑

Jumatatu
Jumanne
Jumatano
Arahamisi
Ijumaa
Jumamosi
Sabato

Same seven, but formatted to stand on their own (like in a calendar header) instead of inside a date.

Abbreviated (stand-alone) ✂️

Jtt
Jnn
Jtn
Ara
Iju
Jmo
Sab

Identical to the abbreviated format set. Consistency is a vibe. ✨

Narrow (stand-alone) 🌸

Again with the three Js. It's giving minimalism. 🫶

🌙 Months

Twelve months, wide/abbreviated/narrow, format and stand-alone. Settle in. 🍓

Mweri wo kumi na moja
Mweri wo kumi na yel’li

The full dramatic twelve, from Mweri wo kwanza all the way to Mweri wo kumi na yel’li — watch that curly apostrophe in the last one, it's yel’li, not a straight quote. 😭

📅 Date Formats

Three fixed sample timestamps get run through each style so you can see exactly what comes out. The samples are:

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

Keep those three in your head, they recur everywhere below. 👑

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

Note the negative year comes out as -10 and the short form happily reads 15/09/-10. That's the data. 🙈

Okay bestie, this is the big one. Each named pattern gets run through those same three timestamps. The pattern in parens is the underlying pattern — don't touch it, just admire it. 👑

🌈 Miscellaneous

Two little facts about this locale before we move on:

Prefers 24 hour time? Yes 🔥
Local first day of the week — 1 (Jumatatu) 🎀

✨ Strftime Patterns

These are the classic strftime-flavoured patterns, and yes, they get the same three sample timestamps because consistency is main character energy 👑

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

The whole date-and-time combo platter:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Jnn Una  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Iju Yel 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Jmo Tis 15 04:44:23 -10

🧚 %x (%m/%d/%y) - date format

Just the date portion, doing its %m/%d/%y thing:

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

And the time-only sibling, %H:%M:%S coded:

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