The Latin abbreviations "a.m." and "p.m." (often written "am" and "pm", "AM" and "PM", or "A.M." and "P.M.") are used in English and Spanish. The equivalents in Greek are and , respectively, and in Sinhala () for (, – fore, pre) and () for (, – after, post). However, noon is rarely abbreviated in any of these languages, noon normally being written in full. In Portuguese, there are two official options and many other used, for example, using 21:45, 21h45 or 21h45min (official ones) or 21:45 or 9:45 p.m. In Irish, "a.m." and "i.n." are used, standing for "ar maidin" ("in the morning") and "iarnóin" ("afternoon") respectively.
