Date and time notation in Cyprus

In Cyprus the all-numeric form for dates is in the little endianness order of "day month year". Years are written with either 2 or 4 digits. For example, either 24/5/2004 or 24/5/04. In Northern Cyprus (like in Turkey), the traditional all-numeric form of writing Gregorian dates is the little-endian day.month.year order, using a dot on the line (period or full stop) as the separator (e.g. 31.12.1991 or 31.12.91).

Time

The 12-hour notation is used in verbal communication, but the 24-hour format is also used along with the 12-hour notation in writing. The minutes are usually written with two digits; the hour numbers are written without a leading zero.
