Date and time notation in Nepal

YYYY-MM-DD is official Nepali Vikram Samvat. An example of Vikram Samvat YYYY-MM-DD usage used is the online news portal Onlinekhabar.[1] But for Gregorian calendar DD-MM-YY . The DD-MM-YY is the predominant short form of the numeric date usage. Almost all government documents need to be filled up in the YYYY-MM-DD format. An example of YYYY-MM-DD usage is the passport application form.[2]

Time

The 12-hour notation is widely used in daily life, written communication, and is used in spoken language. The 24-hour notation is used in rare situations where there would be widespread ambiguity. Examples plane departure and landing timings. A colon is widely used to separate hours, minutes and seconds (e.g., 08:00:20).

gollark: Outside of high-level stuff (GCSE *maybe*, probably A-level) I think it's *mostly* irrelevant if you take a few weeks off.
gollark: I mean, you can socialize at school, which is important, but you can do that anyway.
gollark: It annoys me that the government goes on about how amazingly important it is and how it would be unethical to make people not go to school for a bit.
