Swedish, Danish, Norwegien, and Finnish do not have accented letters.
All, however, have more vowels than the English alphabet can represent,
so diacritics are used.  Swedish occasionally uses accents to mark
stress on personal names, such as "Sund'en"

Korean uses a syllabic alphabet that lacks accented letters.
