Diacritic

This section is Logical; it is meant to be so. Prepare to get bored!

Sensible Section

This article is burly men unfolding umbrellas.   Maybe you should help it on its way.

Diacritics are those little symbols that hang around text. If you want info about their history and stuff, you're in the wrong place. This page is about actually using them. Don't worry, this shouldn't get too boring. BTW hold a key down to display diacritical options.

Diacritic list

Level 1: Accents; Acutes and graves

These two guys signify accents. The acute is more common, with Pokémon and café. The grave is only used for stuff like crème.

Level 2: Circumflex and Caron (háček)

The Circumflex is basically when the acutes and graves marry each other, used in stuff like crème brûlée. The Caron (or Háček) is when the marriage is gay. Example: slovenščina.

Level 3: Breve and Ring

A Breve is a ring split in half, like in a short vowel. (ex. ă) A ring is something more Nordic than slavic. Like in the letter å. there also exists half rings, similar to sideways breves.

Level 4: Dot and Diæresis

A dot is just a small circle, but it can somehow be a diacritic, like in Polish ż. also, dotless letters exist, like in Turkic letter ı, and capital Turkic İ (dotted capital I).

A Diæresis is two dots (why), Like German ü, and Nordic ä and ö. It is also called by a silly name like an umalut, whatever that means.

Level 5: Strokes and Bars

A stroke is a bar through a letter, like in ø, but also can be in other letters, like c, a, and l. (ex. ȼ ꞡ)

A bar, or macron is a sussy bar used in other lingos. Like: ā, ī, and many other vowels, usually to represent a long vowel.

Tildes, like this one (~) is used to sign posts on MediaWiki, and yes, probably including W*kia, and it is used as a diacritic in spanish, portuguese, portupanish, and some other lingos. (ex. ñ)

Signing posts requires 3-5 tildes (3 for name only, 4 is default, 5 for time only.) (ex. ~~~~)

Level 6: Other ones

Cedilla, used in french and some other lingos (ex. ç)

Hook (ogonek), used in randumb Slavic languages (ex. ą)

glottal vietnamese hook, various languages and randumb dialects (ex. ả)

Double Accents, which is when and accent and a grave marry their twins. (ex. e̋, ȑ)

and the list goes on at this point.
