The acute accent comes from a Latin diacritic called apex.[1] There is a diacritic, called kreska in Polish, which looks similar to the acute accent, but which is more vertical and placed slightly to the right of the center of the base letter.[2] Unicode conflates these two diacritics though, so this article does not distinguish between them either.

Acute Accent in Natlangs
| Usage | Language | Letters | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diphthong | Icelandic | Áá /au/, Óó /ou/ | The modern alphabet was established in the 19th century, but it is based on a standard from 12th century.[3] |
| Following glottal stop | Alekano | Áá /ɑʔ/, Éé /eʔ/, Íí /iʔ/, Óó /ɤʔ/, Úú /ɯʔ/ | The acute simply marks that the vowel is followed by a glottal stop. Unaccented vowels have the same vowel quality as the accented ones.[4] |
| High tone | Heiltsuk-Oowekyala (Heiltsuk dialect, official orthography and Rath's orthography) | Áá /á/, Éé /ə́/, Íí /í/, Ḷ́ḷ́ /ĺ̩/, Ṃṃ /ḿ̩/, Ṇṇ /ń̩/, Úú /ú/ | It is currently slightly unclear what quality the vowels have, and if Éé is really used in the official orthography. See Languagegeek and Bella Bella Community School. |
| Long vowel | Croatian, Serbian | Áá /ǎː/, Éé /ěː/, Íí /ǐː/, Óó /ǒː/, Ŕŕ /ř̩ː/, Úú /ǔː/ | The acute accent marks that these vowels are long and have rising pitch. These letters are not used in the standard orthography of Croatian or Serbian, but in linguistic materials.[5] |
| Czech | Áá /aː/, Éé /ɛː/, Íí /iː/, Óó /oː/, Úú /uː/, Ýý /iː/ | Íí and Ýý both represent the same phoneme in Standard Czech, but Íí may mark that the previous consonant is palatal, which Ýý does not.[6] | |
| Hungarian | Áá /aː/, Éé /eː/, Íí /iː/, Óó /oː/, Úú /uː/ | See also Double Acute Accent. | |
| Slovak | Áá /aː/, Éé /eː/, Íí /iː/, Ĺĺ /l̩ː/, Óó /oː/, Ŕŕ /r̩ː/, Úú /uː/, Ýý /iː/ | ||
| Slovene (orthography with dynamic accentuation) | Áá /ˈaː/, Éé /ˈeː/, Íí /ˈiː/, Óó /ˈoː/, Ŕŕ /ˈəɾ/, Úú /ˈuː/ | The acute accent marks that the vowel is stressed and long, and that Éé and Óó are mid-close rather than mid-open. These letters are not used in the standard orthography of Slovene, but in language materials.[7] | |
| Slovene (orthography with tonal accentuation) | Áá /áː/, Éé /ɛ́ː/, Ẹ́ẹ́ /éː/, Íí /íː/, Óó /ɔ́ː/, Ọ́ọ́ /óː/, Úú /úː/ | The acute accent marks that these vowels are long and have high pitch. These letters are not used in the standard orthography of Slovene, but in language materials.[7] | |
| Palatal consonant | Polish | Ćć /tɕ/, Dź dź /d͡ʑ/, Ńń /ɲ/, Śś /ɕ/, Źź /ʑ/ | Polish uses kreska instead of acute accent. |
| Raised vowel | Icelandic | Íí /i/, Ýý /i/ | Unaccented Ii and Yy both stand for /ɪ/.[8] |
| Polish | Óó /u/ | Historically it comes from long /oː/.[9] Polish uses kreska instead of acute accent. | |
| Rising tone | Mandarin (Pinyin romanization) | Áá /a˧˥/, Éé /ə˧˥/, Íí /i˧˥/, Óó /ə˧˥/, Úú /u˧˥/, Ǘǘ /y˧˥/ | Pinyin was created in the 1950s, and its tone marks were based on the Bopomofo phonetic notation.[10] Note that these tone values are based on the Beijing dialect.[11] |
| Min Nan (Pe̍h-ōe-jī orthography) | Áá /a˥˩/, Áⁿ áⁿ /ã˥˩/, Éé /e˥˩/, Éⁿ éⁿ /ẽ˥˩/, Íí /i˥˩/, Íⁿ íⁿ /ĩ˥˩/, Ḿḿ /m̩˥˩/, Ńg ńg /ŋ̍˥˩/, Óó /ə˥˩/, Óⁿ óⁿ /ɔ̃˥˩/, Ó͘ó͘ /ɔ˥˩/, Úú /u˥˩/, Úⁿ úⁿ /u˥˩/ | There is much variation in the tones and vowel qualities between different dialects of Min Nan. The vowel qualities here seem to be an approximation between the dialects,[12] while the tones here are as they are pronounced in Taipei (which is why they are falling though traditionally this toneme is classified as rising).[13] | |
| Vietnamese | Áá /aː˧˥/, Ắắ /a˧˥/, Ấấ /ə˧˥/, Éé /ɛ˧˥/, Ếế /e˧˥/, Íí /i˧˥/, Óó /ɔ˧˥/, Ốố /o˧˥/, Ớớ /əː˧˥/, Úú /u˧˥/, Ứứ /ɨ˧˥/, Ýý /i˧˥/ | There are many exceptions to the phonemic values of these letters.[14] | |
| Stress | Catalan | Éé /ˈe/, Íí /ˈi/, Óó /ˈo/, Úú /ˈu/ | The rules for when stress is to be marked in Catalan are quite complex. The acute accent also distinguishes stressed /e o/ from /ɛ ɔ/,[15] see Grave Accent, Catalan section on Grave Accent in Natlangs. |
| Swedish | Éé /ˈeː/ | Éé is not really a part of the Swedish alphabet, but it is used in many loanwords and surnames. It is used word-finally to indicate a stressed (and therefore long) /e/. These Éé occur where the vowel would usually be unstressed.[16] | |
| Other | Icelandic | Éé /jɛ/, Úú /u/ | Éé was introduced in the 20th century.[3] Unaccented Uu stands for /ʏ/.[8] |

| Half-long vowel | Qwynegold (Qwadralónia dialect) | Qwynegold | Áá /aˑ, ʌˑ/, Éé /eˑ, e̞ˑ/, Íí /ɪˑ, iˑ/, Óó /o̜ˑ, oˑ/, Úú /u̜ˑ, uˑ/, Ýý /ʏˑ, yˑ/, Ä́ä́ /æˑ, ɛˑ/, Ö́ö́ /øˑ, œˑ/ | There are no precomposed forms of Ä́ä́, Ö́ö́. |
| Qwynegold (Quadralónia dialect) | Qwynegold | Áá /aˑ, ʌˑ/, Éé /eˑ, e̞ˑ/, Íí /ɪˑ, iˑ/, Óó /o̜ˑ, oˑ/, Úú /u̜ˑ, uˑ/, Ýý /ʏˑ, yˑ/, Ǽǽ /æˑ, ɛˑ/, Ǿǿ /øˑ, œˑ/ | ||
| High pitch | Inng (external transcription) | Qwynegold | Áá /á/, Éé /ə́, í/, Íí /í/, Ĺĺ /ĺ̩/, Ḿḿ /ŋ̩́/, Ńń /ŋ̩́/, Óó /ú, ə́, á/, Úú /ú/ | Some of these accented letters only appear as part of a digraph when representing a certain sound.[17] |
| High tone | Lhueslue (external romanization) | Qwynegold | Áá /ɑ́/, Áe áe /ǽ/, Éé /é/. Ée ée /ɛ́/, Íí /í/, Íe íe /ɘ́/, Óó /ó/, Óe óe /ǿ/, Úú /ú/, Úe úe /ý/ | This tone may be realized as either a high level tone, or a rising tone. Unaccented vowels have mid level tone.[18] |
| Long vowel | Liu (external romanization) | Qwynegold | Áá /aː/, Éé /eː/, Íí /iː/, Óó /oː/, Úú /uː/ | The acute accent marks that the vowel is long and unstressed. |
