{{Day}}
It is usually the first day of the [[Coptic calendar]] and [[Ethiopian calendar]] (in the period [[Anno Domini|AD]] [[1900]] to AD [[2099]]).
The terms '''September 11th''', '''11th September''', '''11 September''', and '''9/11''' (pronounced "'''Nine-eleven'''") have been widely used in the Western media as a shorthand for the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] on the [[World Trade Center]] and [[The Pentagon]] in the [[United States|United States of America]].<!--Please go to the page [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] or its subpages to make edits about or regarding the event. -->
In other places of the world the media also use it as shorthand for other events; for example, the [[September 11]], [[1973]] [[1973 Chilean coup d'état|Coup d'État in Chile]] is referred to as "El 11 de Septiembre" or "El once" ("September 11" or "The eleventh" in Spanish) as shorthand for the Coup events; September 11 is also [[Enkutatash]] or New Year's Day in the [[Ethiopian calendar]].
