Well, the most common usage in the U.S. is that Sunday is first; throughout
most of the rest of the world, Monday is first. I'd therefore say that Monday
wins by the sheer weight of numbers. :)
obKlingon:
<USA>Daq Daq wa'DIchDaq <Sunday> lan nab motlh.
'ach Daq pImDaq jaj wa'DIch 'oH <Monday>'e'
<Monday> Qat law' <Sunday> Qat puS. vaj <Monday> vIwuq.
Also, your Christian argument for Sunday doesn't quite wash, since the
Sabbath is explicitly the seventh day; for Jews, having Sunday be first
makes sense, but for Christians, having Monday first makes more sense.
To provide an analogous Terran example, Japanese has no names for the days of
the week, only numbers; and the 'first day' is Monday.
Opinions? Has this ground been covered before? I seem to recall that it has,
at least on this list . . .
