* Slovak has the acute ( á, é, í, ĺ, ó, ŕ, ú, ý ), the caron ( č, ď, dž, ľ, ň, š, ť, ž ), the circumflex ( only above o – ô ) and the diaeresis ( only above a – ä ).

* Transcriptions of Ä or ä, characters that represent a letter from several extended Latin alphabets, or the letter A with an umlaut mark or diaeresis

* diaeresis or umlaut ( e. g. ö ) on a, e, i, o, u, w, y, A, E, I, O, U, W, Y is generated by AltGr and 2, then the letter ;

These combinations are designed to be easy to remember, as the circumflex accent ( e. g. â ) is similar to a caret (^), printed above the 6 key ; the diaeresis ( e. g. ö ) is similar to the double-quote (") above 2 on the UK keyboard ; the tilde (~) is printed on the same key as the #.

In the following example, there is a common Swedish surname Åström written in the two alternative methods, the first one with a precomposed Å ( U + 00C5 ) and ö ( U + 00F6 ), and the second one using a decomposed base letter A ( U + 0041 ) with a combining ring above ( U + 030A ) and an o ( U + 006F ) with a combining diaeresis ( U + 0308 ).

Examples from English are the diaeresis in naïve and Noël, which show that the vowel with the diaeresis mark is pronounced separately from the preceding vowel ; the acute and grave accents, which can indicate that a final vowel is to be pronounced, as in saké and poetic breathèd, and the cedilla under the " c " in the borrowed French word façade, which shows it is pronounced rather than.

The acute and the grave accent indicate stress and vowel height, the cedilla marks the result of a historical palatalization, the diaeresis mark indicates either a hiatus, or that the letter u is pronounced when the graphemes gü, qü are followed by e or i, the interpunct (·) distinguishes the different values of ll / l · l.

* Galician vowels can bear an acute accent ( á, é, í, ó, ú ) to indicate stress or difference between two otherwise same written words ( é, '( he / she ) is ' vs. e, ' and '), but trema is only used with ï and ü to show diaeresis in pronunciation.

The acute and the grave accent indicate stress and vowel height, the cedilla marks the result of a historical palatalization, the diaeresis mark indicates either a hiatus, or that the letter u is pronounced when the graphemes gü, qü are followed by e or i, the interpunct (·) distinguishes the different values of nh / n · h and sh / s · h.

The diaeresis is used only over u ( ü ) for it to be pronounced in the combinations gue and gui, where u is normally silent, for example ambigüedad.

One uncommonly formal feature of the magazine's in-house style is the placement of diaeresis marks in words with repeating vowels — such as reëlected, preëminent and coöperate — in which the two vowel letters indicate separate vowel sounds.

Because yü ( as in 玉 " jade ") must have a diaeresis in Wade, the diaeresis-less yu in Wade – Giles is freed up for what corresponds to you ( 有 ) in Pinyin.

Antinoüs, or Antinoös, with a diaeresis, is the hypercorrect spelling of his name.

Given the more widespread social use, in the English language, of the word condom, it is interesting to note that the town is located on the river Baïse ; baise, without the diaeresis, is a French vulgarism for a sexual act.

These diacritics are used in addition to the acute, grave, and circumflex accents and the diaeresis:

In poetry, the diaeresis may be used on i and u as a way to force a hiatus.

The acute accent and diaeresis are also occasionally used, to denote stress and vowel separation respectively.

English speakers and writers once used the diaeresis more often than now in words such as coöperation ( from Fr.

A metal umlaut ( also known as röck döts ) is a diaeresis that is sometimes used gratuitously or decoratively over letters in the names of hard rock or heavy metal bands — for example those of Queensrÿche, Blue Öyster Cult, Motörhead, and Mötley Crüe.

The dialytika ( diaeresis ) should also always be used in all-uppercase words ( even in cases where they are not needed when writing in lowercase, e. g. ΑΫΛΟΣ-άυλος ).

It is used to indicate that the " e " is to be pronounced: separately from the preceding vowel ( e. g. " reëntry "), or " at all "-like in the name of the Brontë sisters, where without diaeresis the final " e " would be mute.

, lowercase, is a symbol used in various languages written with the Latin alphabet ; it can be read as the letter I with diaeresis or I-umlaut.

In Afrikaans, Catalan, Dutch, French, Galician, Welsh, Southern Sami, and occasionally English, ⟨ ï ⟩ is used when ⟨ i ⟩ follows another vowel and indicates hiatus ( diaeresis ) in the pronunciation of such a word — that is, it indicates that the two vowels are pronounced in separate syllables, rather than together as a diphthong or digraph.

*: Cyrillic letter U with diaeresis, used in Altai ( Oyrot ), Khakas, Gagauz, Khanty, Mari

In diphthongs, a diaeresis was sometimes used over ι to indicate the semivowel y. Geminate consonants were written double ; long vowels were usually not distinguished from short ones.

Just like the Latin letters I / i ( and J / j ), the dot above the letter only appears in its lowercase form, and only if that letter is not combined with a diacritic above it ( notably the diaeresis used in Ukrainian to note the letter yi of its alphabet, and the macron ).

While in modern editions of ancient and modern Greek the trema is used only to prevent a digraph ( as < ευ > versus < εϋ > ), Slavonic kendema-usage still continues that of many mediaeval Greek manuscripts, where the " diaeresis " sign was often used simply to mark an ypsilon or iota as such, irrespective of any other vowels ( e. g. δϊαλϋτϊκά, which would not be correct by today's conventions ).

A diaeresis can be generated by striking the ¨ key ( in most AZERTY layouts, it is generated by combining the Maj + ^ keys ), then the vowel requiring the accent.

The tréma ( known as diaeresis in English ) indicating exceptionally that gu is not a digraph is to be placed on the u instead of on the following vowel.

In phonology, hiatus (; " gaping ") or diaeresis ( or, from Ancient Greek diaíresis " division ") refers to two vowel sounds occurring in adjacent syllables, with no intervening consonant.

The diaeresis ( le tréma ) ⟨¨⟩ shows that two vowels are pronounced separately ( i. e., that the vowel pair belong to separate syllables ), compare the forms of the verb haïr (' to hate '): je hais (' I hate '), nous haïssons (' we hate ') ).

This is often not marked in any way ( it is an exception which must simply be memorized ), but some authors indicate it either by breaking up the digraph with a hyphen, as in hogs-head, co-operate, or with a diaeresis mark, as in coöperate, though usage of a diaeresis has declined in English within the last century.

The second of two vowels in a hiatus can be marked with a diaeresis ( or " tréma ") as in words such as coöperative, daïs and reëlect-but its use has become less common, sometimes being replaced by the use of a hyphen.

The exopod is typically the larger, and may be divided in two by a transverse suture known as the diaeresis.

* Afrikaans uses diaeresis to mark vowels that are pronounced separately and not as one would expect where they occur together, for example voel ( to feel ) as opposed to voël ( bird ).

For example, French maïs (, maize ); without the diaeresis, the ⟨ i ⟩ is part of the digraph ⟨ ai ⟩: mais (, but ).

The tail of Nephrops norvegicus – the uropods flank the telson ; a diaeresis is visible on the exopod ( outer part ) of each uropod.

:* Welsh uses the circumflex, diaeresis, acute and grave accents on its seven vowels a, e, i, o, u, w, y.

In addition, Turkmen uses A with diaeresis ( Ä ) to represent, N with caron ( Ň ) to represent the velar nasal, Y with acute ( Ý ) to represent the palatal approximant, and Z with caron ( Ž ) to represent.

* Dutch uses the diaeresis.

* Spanish uses the acute accent and the diaeresis.

* Welsh uses the circumflex, diaeresis, acute and grave accents on its seven vowels a, e, i, o, u, w, y.

Juvenal, for example, was fond of occasionally creating verses that placed a sense break between the fourth and fifth foot ( instead of in the usual caesura positions ), but this technique —- known as the bucolic diaeresis -— did not catch on with other poets.

* Ü always has a trema ( diaeresis ) above, while pinyin only employs it in the cases of nü, lü, nüe and lüe, while leaving it out in-ue, ju -, qu -, xu -,-uan and yu-as a simplification because u cannot otherwise appear in those positions.
