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.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_accent#Palatalization] Unicode conflates these two diacritics though, so this article does not distinguish between them either.

| 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 indicate a stressed (and therefore long) /e/. These Éé occur where the vowel would usually be unstressed.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_accent#Other_uses]
