 ==Diacritics==
+'''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.
 ==Punctuation==
 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.
