The Mañi calendar is a lunisolar calendar used by Quaxin Xun and many other cultures of southern Soltenna and northern Akulanen. It originated in pre-migration insular Mañi culture, around 1000 BCE.

These months are named after constellations of the Ngerupic zodiac.
Days in the month
Historically, the Mañi calendar assigns the number of days in the month on the fly, so that each month would begin on the full moon. As a result, almost every month had 29 or 30 days.
In modern days, months alternate between 29 days (odd-numbered months) and 30 days (even-numbered months).
Synchronization with the solar year
The Mañi year starts the first time the full moon is in Hàkmąŗał Outrigger, which usually occurs around the vernal equinox. The wet season in southern Soltenna and northern Akulanen starts in the month of Chiixichko Shark. In order to keep the lunar cycle in sync with the solar year, 1 thirteenth intercalary month, Ŋųnįŋ (the foreigner), is inserted every three years after Łàakani Barge. The intercalary month has 35 days in the modern calendar. Historically, the number of days in the intercalary month would be variable, based on the number of days required to resynchronize the calendar with both the synodic month and the sidereal year.
