Types of Accents on the Letter O

1. Acute Accent (Ó): The acute accent is used in languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, and Icelandic. In Spanish, it marks the stressed syllable, as in corazón (heart). In Portuguese, it often indicates an open-mid vowel sound, as in avó (grandmother).
2. Grave Accent (Ò): The grave accent appears in Italian, Catalan, and some dialects of French. It usually marks a more open or distinct vowel quality, as in the Catalan word mòbil (mobile phone) or Italian però (but).
3. Circumflex Accent (Ô): The circumflex accent is commonly used in French and Portuguese, and it changes the pronunciation of the letter “O” to a more closed sound.
4. Tilde (Õ): The tilde is commonly used in Portuguese to indicate nasalization of the letter “O”.
5. Umlaut (Ö): The umlaut (also called diaeresis) is common in German, Swedish, and other languages. It changes “O” into a front rounded vowel, pronounced with the lips rounded but the tongue positioned further forward, as in German schön (beautiful).
