If you check the Language and Region System Panel, you will see that you can change the Region, First day of week, and Calendar. I suspect that LC is going to sue these settings to determine any kind of day/date function.

The system weekdayNames returns a list of day names in the user's local
language but is the order of the day names influenced by the calendar
conventions of the user's location?

In other words, if I'm in the USA, the first name in the list is Sunday.
If I was in a country where the convention is to start the week on a
Monday, would Sunday still be the first day name in the list or would it be
Monday?
