(section 3 of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, bestie, iykyk)

okay so 💖 this is the manual page for DateTime::Locale::sw_KE — the locale data examples for the Swahili Kenya (sw-KE) locale. it's a Perl doc page, it's section 3, and it's literally just a giant flex of every day name, month name, and format string this locale knows. grab a snack, we're going through all of it 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so picking up right where we left off — here's the rest of the sw_KE pattern lineup, bestie 🦋

yMd — d/M/y

1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22/12/1995

yQQQ — QQQ y

1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Robo ya 4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Robo ya 3 -10

yQQQQ — QQQQ y

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Robo ya 1 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Robo ya 4 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Robo ya 3 -10

yw-count-one — 'wiki' w 'ya' Y

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = wiki 6 ya 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = wiki 51 ya 1995

1995-12-22T09:05:02 = wiki 51 ya 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = wiki 37 ya -10

Yeah, yw-count-one and yw-count-other are literally identical here — that's not me being lazy, that's just what the data says 💀

🌸 Miscellaneous

So like, the little quality-of-life settings that live alongside the patterns:

Prefers 24 hour time?

Yes ✨

Local first day of the week

7 (Jumapili)

Jumapili is Sunday, and 7 means the week is counted as starting on the seventh day, iykyk 🌈

🎀 Strftime Patterns

These are the classic strftime-style ones — the ones that map to %c, %x, and %X for this locale 👑

%c (%e %B %Y %I:%M:%S %p) — date time format

%x (%d/%m/%Y) — date format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 05/02/2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22/12/1995

%X (%I:%M:%S %p) — time format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 06:30:30 PM

Notice %c lowkey pads the day with a leading space on that first line (%e behavior) and %x zero-pads it (05) — both are in the data exactly like that, don't @ me 🙈
