“Les Très Riches Heures”
March
Here’s today’s date in over 250 languages. I’m favoring those that are at least a bit off the beaten track, and/or have names for the months that depart substantially from your run-of-the-mill neo-Roman. Accordingly you won’t find French, Chinese, or Greek, say, but rather Picard, Manipuri, and Pontic. (Cool looking numerals are, naturally, an added plus.)

Sliding your mouse over each language’s name will reveal its pedigree. Brown terms in parentheses ( ) are alternate names for them, while those in brackets [ ] specify a particular subdivision or dialect shown.

For those languages that expired before the advent of modern place-value numerals I’m using Roman. For Etruscan I’m using Etruscan numerals (basically Roman except that they used a lambda for 5) while pretending that those serene, elbow-lounging folks used the Gregorian calendar and reckoned dates sequentially as we do. Traditional Chuvash numerals follow a similar scheme, but with the smaller units to the left of the larger ones, a slash for 5, and a star for 1000. Mokshan resembles Chavash but uses that lambda for 10 and a kind of reflected sawhorse for 1000.

The only non-Gregorian date I’m showing is an estimate for the Gaulish, whose calendar was offset by about half a month from that used by their Roman contemporaries and whose months alternated between 29 and 30 days as opposed to 30 and 31.

For the sake of uniformity the program writes everything out in the continental fashion of date, month name, and year. (Classical Latin, a special case at least by modern standards, is here.) It’s likely some languages might require inflectional modifications on the month names or other refinements, so just let me know and I’ll incorporate them.
