KISWAHILI (Clock and time)

The Swahili-speaking region is mostly in the Equatorial region of Africa where daytime and night-time have the same duration.
Time measurement in Kiswahili is based on the separation of the 24 hours of a day in 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness.
Time (hours) are counted from sunrise for 12 hours and start again at sunset.
