@CiaraNi @mlazz @hanscees If you want to nitpick, umlaut is the phenomenon where an a changes to ä and o to ö when a word is inflected, while dieresis is the diacritical sign on top of a and o in ä and ö.
In many (most?) languages where ä and ö are used, the dieresis is *not* seen as an ”accent”, but ä, ö, and å are separate letters. Just like E is not seen as an F with an extra bar.

@CiaraNi @headword @walfischbucht But at least there's a diphtong in "Umlaut". 🫠
@katzentratschen @headword @walfischbucht Doesn't make up for the lack of umlauts though.

It upsets me that there are no umlauts in the word umlaut
@CiaraNi "eñe" is spelled with an eñe tho.

@id1om I would like to have a word with these diacriticless diacritics
@CiaraNi
Per Macron, it's grave and acute. -

@datenhalde @stevegis_ssg @ChristineMalec The variations in a single letter or accent are fascinating
@CiaraNi @datenhalde @ChristineMalec
Seriously.

I love it, thanks

@CiaraNi @mitradranirban @adriano If interrobang‽ isn't typically spelled with the "‽," it really should be.

@courtcan @CiaraNi @mitradranirban "Interrobang" honestly sounds like you're being questioned at gunpoint.

@CiaraNi
The culprit bridge is in the centre of Hamburg. It carries the wonderfully quaintly named street “Großer Burstah” over a canal.[cue toots about the wonderfully quaint letter ß]
