The acute accent comes from a Latin diacritic called apex.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_accent#Apex] 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. Unicode conflates these two diacritics though, so this article does not distinguish between them either.

| 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.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbo-Croatian_phonology#Pitch_accent]
|-
| [[Wikipedia:Czech_language|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.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_orthography#.22Soft.22_I_and_.22Hard.22_Y]

| 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.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovene_language#Prosody]
|-

| 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.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovene_language#Prosody]
|-
| Palatal consonant
| [[Wikipedia:Polish language|Polish]]
| Ćć /tɕ/, Ńń /ɲ/, Śś /ɕ/, Źź /ʑ/
| Polish uses [[Natlang_Uses_of_Acute_Accent#top|kreska]] instead of acute accent.
|-
| Raised vowel
| [[Wikipedia:Polish language|Polish]]
| Óó /u/
| Historically it comes from long /oː/.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_phonology#Historical_development] Polish uses [[Natlang_Uses_of_Acute_Accent#top|kreska]] instead of acute accent.

| There are many exceptions to the phonemic values of these letters.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_orthography#Pronunciation]
|-
| rowspan=2 | Stress
| [[Wikipedia:Catalan_language|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/,[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_alphabet#Acute_and_grave_accents] see [[Natlang_Uses_of_Diacritics_in_the_Latin_Alphabet#Grave_Accent|Grave Accent]], Catalan section on ''Uses of Grave Accent''.
|-
| [[Wikipedia:Swedish_language|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 denote a long, stressed /e/. These Éé occur where the vowel would normally be unstressed.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_accent#Other_uses]
