Day Periods

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.
