=== Calendar and Time ===

The Packilvanian calendar uses the Common Era lunisolar calendar. The months match up but the weekdays are vastly different. Each week comprises 12 days. A month is called a "Dool", a Day is called a "Yam" and a Week is called a "Iskar". The day comprises 20 hours of 72 minutes each. An hour is called a "Hoor" and a minute is called a "Tash" while a second is called a "Jum".

If you want to tell someone one the time is, there are two options:

* Digital time: Here you say the numbers on a digital clock for example if the time is 19:67, the you say ''Sool na Shvaan sool-sunkt na shvaan'' (Nineteen sixty seven).

* Analogue time: There are two ways:

** When you have passed the half way point of the hour, I.e., 36 minutes, You say the number of minutes until the coming hour. For example: if the time is 17:65, you say ''Shvaan tulha sool na saash'' (7 to 18).

** When you have not passed the half way point then you say how many minutes have passed in the hour you are currently in. For example if the time is 09:34, you say: ''Sool-dasht na dakt sayinka Naan'' (Thirty four since nine).

** When you want to say approximately half way, you say that you are in the middle of the hour you are in: if the approximate time is 10:36, you say ''Derj Dakht'' (Half ten).

** When you want to say approximately a quarter past the start of the hour, for example 12:18, you say, ''Verj Sayinka Sool'' (A fourth since 12).

** When you want to say a quarter to the next hour, for example 3:54, you say, ''Verj tulha Vaar'' (A fourth to 12).

** When you want to say a third from the current hour, for example 6:24, you say ''Terj Sayinka Saash'' (A third since 6).

** When you want to say a third to the next hour, for instance 7:48, you say ''Taarj tulha Gat'' (A third until 8). This formula applies for a 6th, 8th or 12th of the hour
