"Modern" Afghanis utilize three calendars: the Gregorian (for commercial uses), a variant of the lunar Hegira, and a variant of the Iranian Solar. Just as in the Arabic lunar-Hegira calendar, the Afghani variation uses July 15, 622 A.D. as its epoch. It also has 12 months with the odd months (1-11) having 30 days and the even months (2-12) having 29 days. The last month has 29 days in a common year and 30 days in a leap year. Albanian (Shqip) days
e hënë [mandi] (Monday)
e martë [tjuuzdi] (Tuesday) e mërkurë [wenzdi] (Wednesday) e enjte [thëërzdi] (Thursday) e premte [frajdi] (Friday) e shtunë [sŠtërdi] (Saturday) e dielë (djelë) [sandi] (Sunday) Hënë, or Hanë(e) is vernacular for “moon.” Martë and Mërkure refer to Mars and Mercury, respectively. Enjte is thought to have come from a local deity identified with Zeus. Premte may mean "evening". If so, it may either mean: (1) "eve" or "vigil" and is equivalent to the church term "preparation" or (2) it is another name for "Venus", "Hesperus", or "evening star". Since the other names are not church terms, #2 is most likely the meaning (according to F.H. Colson). Dielë, or Dielli, is believed to be the vernacular for "sun". Albanian (Shqip) months

The Albanians refer to their language as shqip and their country as Shqipëria. Two major dialects are Tosk, spoken in the south, and Gheg, in the north. Albanians started to use the Roman alphabet in 1908 and it contains many words which are not found in any other Indo-European language, although Latin, Greek, Turkish, and Slavic languages have been incorporated into it. Albanian is a separate and independent branch of the Indo-European language. Its origin is not known and scholars could not prove its membership as a member of the Indo-European family of languages until 1854. Anglo-Saxon days

monandaeg (Monday) Tiwesdaeg (Tuesday) Wodensdaeg (Wednesday) Thursdaeg (Thursday) Frigedaeg (Friday) Saterndaeg (Saturday) For some Old Scandinavians, the name for Saturday was Loverdag, "bath-night" or "washing-day" because the Danes were noted for their cleanliness, according to an old chronicler.

Sprout-kale was the time of the year when cabbages sprouted. Hlyd-monath expressed the month when there were storms. Eostur-monath commemorated the goddess of fertility. Thromilchi supposedly was the month when cows could be milked three times a day. Litha has a meaning which can not be determined with certainty. Maed-monath (mead-month) was when meadows were in bloom. Weod-monath (weed-month) or Scere-monath, was the month for shearing. Harvest-monath is easily understood. Winterfylleth, or the full moon, marked the beginning of winter. Blod-monath (blood month) was when the cattle and other domestic animals were butchered. Heligh-monath was "holy-month". Arabic days
