What to do if a country uses both 24 and 12 orally?

edit

In theory, there exists a continuum of degrees a population uses one or the other orally. You could divide this continuum of ambiguity e.g. into 3 groups of oral usage:

  1. Only using 12 h (unambiguously "24 hours (12 orally)")
  2. Mostly using 12 h
  3. Commonly using both
  4. Mostly using 24 h
  5. Only using 24 h (unambiguously "24 hours")

Where do we draw the line for including a country in the "24 hours (12 orally)"? Should we:

  • Also include #2 (#1, #2 are "24 hours (12 orally)"; #3, #4, #5 are "24 hours")
  • Also include #3 (#1, #2, #3 are "24 hours (12 orally)"; #4, #5 are "24 hours")
  • Also include #4 (#1, #2, #3, #4 are "24 hours (12 orally)"; #5 is "24 hours")
  • Make a new separate map or add new colors/patterns to the existing map to indicate the spoken and written dimensions independently of each other.

The practical output of this question would be (for the first three solutions) to add an extra sentence to the image's description to clarify what to include. Karland90 (talk) 13:17, 1 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

All of the countries of former USSR use 24 hour clock

edit

Armenia in this map is the only country of former USSR who use 12 hour clock. In real life, Armenia use 24 hour clock. 83.27.133.181 13:49, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Belarus also should be updated to 24 hour (12 hour orally), it isn't very different from the system used in Russia or Ukraine. BlueSide-III (talk) 12:40, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

The US should be green

edit

In this map, the US is blue (12 hour clock), but this country should be green (both in common use) 83.27.133.181 17:25, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Someone left a comment here stating that Cambodia uses both 12-hour and 24-hour clocks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:30, 29 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
