=== Emphasis === *In [[Danish language|Danish]], the acute accent can also be used for [[Stress (linguistics)|emphasis]], especially on the word ''der'' (there), as in ''Der kan ikke være mange mennesker dér'', meaning "There can't be many people ''there''" or ''Dér skal vi hen'' meaning "''That's'' where we're going". * In [[Dutch language|Dutch]], the acute accent can also be used to emphasize an individual word within a sentence. For example, ''Dit is ónze auto, niet die van jullie'', "This is ''our'' car, not yours." In this example, ''ónze'' is merely an emphasized form of ''onze''. Also in family names like Piét, Piél, Plusjé, Hofsté. The [[IJ digraph]] can be stressed with íj́ but is usually stressed as íj for technical reasons. * In the [[Armenian script]] emphasis on a word is marked by an acute accent above the word's stressed vowel; it is traditionally grouped with the Armenian question and exclamation marks which are also diacritics applied to the stressed vowel.
