Day Periods indicate roughly how the day is broken up in different languages. The following shows the ones that can be used as selectors in messages. The first column has a language group to collect languages together that are more likely to have similar day periods. For more information, see: Day Period Rules. The latest release data for this chart is in dayPeriods.xml.
