As far as I know, all calendars that use lunar cycles start their months with the new moon.
A lunar calendar is a calendar based on the cycles of the moon, typically consisting of 12 lunar months in a year. It tracks the phases of the moon, such as new moon, full moon, and the waxing and waning phases, as opposed to a solar calendar which is based on the position of the Earth relative to the sun. Lunar calendars are used in various cultures and traditions for agricultural, religious, and cultural purposes.
