== Diacritics ==
'''acute''' - á, é, í, ĺ, ó, ŕ, ú, ý

'''caron''' - č, ď, ľ, ň, š, ť, ž

'''umlaut''' - ä

'''circumflex''' - ô

== Accent ==
Slovak words have accent mostly on the first syllable of the word ('''slo'''venský '''ja'''zyk). Acute does not indicate accent. Acutes indicate long sound (twice as long as the short sound).

== Soft pronunciation of de, te, ne, le, di, ti, ni, li ==
Consonants '''d, t, n, l''' in combination with vowels '''e, i''' should have a soft pronunciation ''(like ďe, ťe, ňe, ľe, ďi, ťi, ňi, ľi)''. Although most people often break the rule and do not pronounce '''le''', '''li''' softly.

The rule of soft pronunciation does not apply to the words of foreign origin.
