Format in Xhosa and Zulu
[edit]I don’t understand the workings or the description of the mentioned template, so I guess my question simply arises from ignorance: Why can’t the long form of the dates be given for Xhosa and Zulu (as is written in the article) ?
The given references lead to good pages, but the long forms there don’t seem much different than those for other languages.
And my follow-up question: If the template really doesn’t support the long form, couldn’t one put screenshots of them into the article, so readers don’t need to refer to those pages? Geke (talk) 20:29, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know if there is a reason they can't just be typed out.
- There are cites at the bottom that have examples, I am sure a long format can be copied and put in as an example, if I miss something please point it out.
- It also seems, I don't know if I am missing something it is early and I am only on my first coffee, the example of a long date under Xhosa on the web page cited is "Februwari 5, 2008", but the wiki page indicates it to be "year-month-day" so there is a miss mach there.
- If nobody knows I will see if I am able to try update it. Jonathan Peel (talk) 05:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
