Editing Double acute accent (section)

====Chuvash====
The [[Chuvash language]] written in the [[Cyrillic script]] uses a double-acute [[U with double acute (Cyrillic)|Ӳ, ӳ]] {{IPA|/y/}} as a [[front vowel|front]] counterpart of [[U (Cyrillic)|Cyrillic letter У, у]] {{IPA|/u/}} (see [[Chuvash language#Vowel harmony|Chuvash vowel harmony]]), likely after the analogy of handwriting in Latin script languages.<ref name="chuvash_hwform">A possible explanation of the diacritic being influenced by the German ''handwritten'' form is the early version of the [[Chuvash language#1873–1938|Chuvash alphabet]] devised much more than 50 years before the other ones mentioned.</ref> In other minority languages of [[Russia]] ([[Khakas language|Khakas]], [[Mari language|Mari]], [[Altay language|Altai]], and [[Khanty language|Khanty]]), the umlauted form ''[[U with diaeresis (Cyrillic)|Ӱ]]'' is used instead.
