Starting with Swahili, we’ll tour a whole range of ways of telling time around the world. I will mention or discuss all of these:
- Swahili Time
- 12 and 24 hour clocks
- Italian and Thai six hour clocks
- temporal hours
- traditional Chinese time units
- Nāhua hours and cycle direction
- Hindustani time units
- Japanese 30 hour days
- natural standards
