'''Acute Accent''' | |||
The Acute Accent is used to mark an elongated oral vowel: | |||
* Áá /ɑ:/ | |||
* Éé /ɛ:/ | |||
* Íí /i:/ | |||
* Óó /ɔ:/ | |||
* Úú /u:/ | |||
* Ýý /ɨ:/<br /> | |||
The Acute Accent is also used on lengthened nasal vowels: | |||
* Ą́ą́ /ɑ̃:/ | |||
* Ę́ę́ /ɛ̃:/ | |||
* Ǫ́ǫ́ /ɔ̃:/ | |||
* Ý̨ý̨ /ɨ̃:/<br /> | |||
'''Diaeresis''' | |||
The diaeresis indicates that two adjoining letters that would normally form a digraph and be pronounced as one are instead to be read as separate vowels in two syllables. The diaeresis indicates that a vowel should be pronounced apart from the letter that precedes it. | |||

The use of the full stop (.), the colon (:), the semicolon (;), the question mark (?) and the exclamation mark (!) is similar to their use in other European languages. The full stop is placed after a number if it stands for ordinal numerals. The first word of every sentence and all proper names are capitalized. Other nouns that are capitalized are: newspaper headings; Cities, towns and villages; Geographical or local names; Official names of institutions and the names of nations. Czecklish does not capitalize the months and days of the week, nor adjectives and other forms derived from proper nouns. | The use of the full stop (.), the colon (:), the semicolon (;), the question mark (?) and the exclamation mark (!) is similar to their use in other European languages.
