Just to chip in here:

In Chinese, Monday is called "Day-one", Tuesday is "Day-two".  There
is an exception to the rule on the weekend, I forgot.

In Thai, the days are named after celestial bodies: Monday is
"Moon-Day", Tuesday is "Venus-Day" (if I'm not mixing up the names of
the planets). Sunday is "Sun-Day".

Thomas.
