In article <2351@mmintl.UUCP> franka@mmintl.UUCP (Frank Adams) writes: /The Russian alphabet does have two accented letters, although the accents /are often omitted. How common this omission is, or whether it is getting /more common, I don't really know. "I kratkoye" is usually written with a shallow bowl over it. However, it is considered a distinct letter from "i". "E" can be pronounced as either "ye" or "yo", and in books for foreigners a diaresis is placed over it when it is to be pronounced "yo". In handwriting (but not in printed text), the letters "t" and "sh" sometimes have a line either under or over them. Other than that, no diacritical marks are used *in Russian*. However, there are other languages which use this alphabet, and they might have diacritics. --alan@pdn
