Wikipedia on diacrritics
At 3:15 this morning I was especially fascinated to be boning up on the Spanish link to the tilde (and no, Spanish Swagmen don't waltz with theirs); the tittle (admit it: You use the little tittle every day); and I was especially interested in Rough Breathing, something we don't often get a chance to discuss on Eileen's Lounge.
Cheers

Eddie Izzard "Language" Sketch From "Dress to Kill"
A warning for some expletive language that some might find offensive; but hey, that's language as well, and it's all about context.
Byelingual When you speak two languages but start losing vocabulary in both of them.
