So the Islamic calendar usage is not necessarily the only official way. Most of us do use the Gregorian calendar side by side.
We do have government holidays lining up with the Islamic calendar, but it would be inaccurate to say we don’t use Gregorian calendar at all
In Syria, we use both for datekeeping.

From what I’ve seen in India, 1947 is about right.

Why Ethiopia is in the *past*, from Wikipedia:
>The Ethiopian calendar has twelve months, all thirty days long, and five or six [left over days], which form a thirteenth month.

The China one is wrong. The Gregorian calendar is used.

This is such a ridiculous Oversimplication

Note: The Gregorian Calendar is still the primary calendar we use in India, Nepal and obviously China. These are very cultural calendars and used only for festival dates. I presume the same with Japan and ROC. Same with most of the Islamic World from what I know.
Edit: Not Nepal.

This map keeps being posted and is still wrong about China. Also a stretch to call either calendar system started 115 years ago traditional, AFAIK they are specifically to replace traditional calendar system.

Not 100% accurate. Most North African Arab countries’official system is Grogeorian Calendar. Hijri is a secondary.
I’m sure it is in:
Egypt
Tunisia
Algeria
Libya
Morocco

So wrong about India. It is 2081 in Vikram Samvat. All weddings take place according to that calendar.

Don’t forget about the Yazidi calendar, which is currently at 6,775.
The oldest calendar currently in use.

In Egypt, we use gregorian calendar. Never once used the (Hijri) one, whether officially or unofficially. The unofficial Calendar is the Egyptian calendar, and the official one is the gregorian.
