I am gonna invite people to add more languages to this article once I have everything set up, and I'm grateful for everyone who wants to help. But people please, don't do any changes while WIP sign is still up.

If anyone knows how to put a table in a frame, please help. Go to [1], press Ctrl+F and enter The final table would display like this:. The table you see under these words is placed in a white box white grey outlines, that is, the box that also encircles the line The table's caption. I want a box like that around the natlang examples table in this page.

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,[2] even though it and related characters are mostly only used in typesetting.[3]

Above is a template for the Unicode table. I intend to do all of these tables by myself, while others can contribute with filling in natlang data once I have set everything up. But here the table code is copy-pasteable anyway.
The Natlang Example Table
{| class="wikitable" |+ Uses of *** ! Usage ! Language ! Letters ! Notes |- | | | | |}
Same deal as with above.
