#A goodsource fortime zone historicaldataoutside the U.S. is

#Unless otherwise specified, thesource for datathrough 1990 is:

# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),

# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).

# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.

#

# Gwillim Law writes that a good source

# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport

# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),

# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries

# of the IATA's data after 1990.

#

# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for

# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.

# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,

# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.

# Ethiopia

# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):

# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a

# 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our

# 02:00 or 14:00. Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.

#

# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time

# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in

# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05. Perhaps 38E50

# was for Adis Dera. Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong

# anyway.
