We don't know that. Exact questions are: when exactly did the calendar

I don't get you. Afghanistan clearly doesn't use a "Jalali" subtype.
Their current leap year algorithm is synced with the Gregorian system,

I don't agree. One can't reduce confusion by being less specific. People

I've heard that they celebrate Nowrooz, like the Azerbaijani people, but
that's all. They use the Gregorian calendar.

In Early 1357 it was abolished. Does it really matter? It is only a

Hi,
Thank you for the refinements and clarifications. Maybe I've used to

But is that the official name? I might have just made that up.
Abbreviations??

ok,
After reading the recent discussion on Iranian Calendar and its
support in .NET, I have a few suggestions:
- As the lunar calendar in Iran is observation based, there is no way
to have an exact conversion for a date in future to/from lunar
calendar. However, it is possible to do so for past dates.
