== Date ==
YYYY-MM-DD is official date format for the [[VikramBikram SamvatSambat|VikramBikram SamvatSambat Calendercalendar]] used in [[Nepal]]. While speaking and writing full BS dates, the ''mmmm d, yyyy'' format is often used alongside the ''yyyy mmmm d'' format. For instance, the 23rd of [[Chaitra]], 2077 BS can be spoken and written as Chaitra 23, 2077 ({{Lang|ne|चैत २३, २०७७}}) or 2077 Chaitra 23 ({{Lang|ne|२०७७ चैत २३}}). An example of Vikram Samvat YYYY-MM-DD usage used is the online news portal Onlinekhabar.<ref>{{cite web|title=सरकारसँग मिलेर जलविद्युतमा लगानी गर्ने हो ? यसरी भर्नुहोस् अनलाइन फारम|url=http://www.onlinekhabar.com/2017/01/526213/|publisher=Onlinekhabar|accessdate=9 January 2017|ref=1}}</ref> When using the [[Gregorian calendar]], both YYYY-MM-DD ({{Time|NPT|iso|dateonly=yes|hide-tz=yes|hide-refresh=yes}}) and DD/MM/YYYY ({{Time|NPT|dmy12|dateonly=yes|hide-tz=yes|hide-refresh=yes|df-cust=d/m/Y}}) format can be used. While the DMY format ({{Time|NPT|dmy12|dateonly=yes|hide-tz=yes|hide-refresh=yes}}) is used when writing full Gregorian dates, the MDY format ({{Time|NPT|mdy12|dateonly=yes|hide-tz=yes|hide-refresh=yes}}) is also acceptable. All government documents need to be filled up in the YYYY-MM-DD format.<ref>{{cite web|title=Passport Application Form|url=http://webcpanel3.nitc.gov.np/~nepalpassport/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/form2-4mv2-1.pdf|publisher=Department Of Passports|accessdate=9 January 2017|ref=1|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161119080512/http://webcpanel3.nitc.gov.np/~nepalpassport/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/form2-4mv2-1.pdf|archive-date=19 November 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> A [[week]] starts on a [[Sunday]] ({{Lang|ne|आइतबार}}) and ends on a [[Saturday]] ({{Lang|ne|शनिबार}}).<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Days of the week|url=https://nepalgo.de/post/51535662599/vocabulary-days-of-the-week|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=25 December 2020|website=Nepalgo}}</ref>
