Layout Guidelines
This article should only list diacritics in the Latin alphabet, used in present or obsolete natlang orthographies or transliteration of orthographies, such as Pinyin for Chinese or Hepburn for Japanese. Links to every diacritic should have been made, although some of those pages have not yet been written. I have included acute accent below ˏ, grave accent below ˎ, and comma above right ◌̕, although I'm not sure if they are used in any natlangs or romanizations. I am also unsure about double low line ◌̳, double overline ◌̿, double macron ◌͞◌, double macron below ◌͟◌, and double tilde ◌͠◌, but I have not included those. One should know that it can be surprising which diacritics are actually used in natlangs sometimes. For example low line below ◌̲ is allegedly used in some African and Native American languages,[1] even though it and related characters are mostly only used in typesetting.[2]
