First of all , be aware of that : 
=================================
There can be more than one set of cultural convention in use in one
country !
I don't know if Tibetans and Chinese use the same set of conventions ...
even if they live in the same country.

Proposed solutions :
====================
The easy way is to use your system's locale.
In the C language, you could use the Windows NLS API or the C locale API
to obtain these informations.

You can also check POSIX locale definition file in the LC_TIME category.
There is a repository of such files at:
ftp://dkuug.dk/i18n/WG15-collection/locales/

You can also make a poll on the internet news ;-)

For Unix folks , I included the results of the second program (using
windows NLS API) in the mail...

Hope it helps !

Quick and untested example using the C locale (Unix like):
==========================================================
#include <time.h>
#include <locale.h>
#define MAX_RESULT 512
void PrintDefaultDateFormat(char * localeName)
{
	char result[MAX_RESULT];
	struct tm* pMyTM;
	time_t ltime;
	time(&ltime);
	pMyTM = gmtime(ltime);
	setlocale(LC_TIME,localeName);
	strftime(result,MAX_RESULT,"%x",pMyTM); /* %x is default locale
date format */
	printf("Current date in locale %s is %s\n",localeName,result);
};

Tested example using the Windows NLS API:
=======================================
Using the Windows NLS API would give something like the following C
program :

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <winnls.h>
#include <winnt.h>

typedef struct _myLocale_t {
	LCID locale;
	char * name;
} myLocale_t;

myLocale_t winLocales[]=
