> Just a minor point:  it isn't anyone's NATIVE language, but Esperanto adds:

Just a minor point, but in fact Esperanto IS the native language of some
hundreds of people.  I've met some of them.  What happens is that a couple
meets thru Esperanto activities (conferences, pen pals, whatever), has no
language other than Esperanto in common, marries, continues to speak
Esperanto at home (since they have affectionate ties to the language and for
a time have still have no other language in common), and the children learn
Esperanto as their first language.  Of course these children soon become
multilingual, learning the language of the community.

After this brief interruption, back to the diacritic issue.  ISO 6937 gives a
complete list of the combinations of letters plus diacritics, and of the
special characters, which are used in 41 roman-letter alphabets (including
Esperanto).
