This quiz focuses on some of the more common marks and what they’re called. You can learn about diacritical marks, including their names and the languages they’re used with, in chapter 11 of CMOS 17. (A diacritic is a mark placed on or near a letter some of these are referred to as accents, but many are not.) You’ll also see them occasionally in certain words that have been imported into English from another language-usually French, as in café and bo îte and à la mode. You know them when you see them, but do you know what they’re called?Īccents and other diacritical marks are common in French, Spanish, German, Italian, and many other languages. You can take this month’s quiz and test your knowledge of accents and other diacritical marks.
It may not be possible to go to a café or a boîte right now for pie à la mode, but there is an alternative.
