To pull this off I think we'd need a separate forum section to organize it and have reference sticky topics like this.
Basic Rules:
Accented Characters
1. The cedilla (¸) is placed under the letter Ç to show that it is pronounced like the letter s and not the letter k.
François
2. There are three accents used over French vowels.
- a. The acute accent (´) is placed over the letter e. This indicates it is pronounced like “ay” like say or day.
André
- b. The grave accent (`) can be placed over a, e, u:
Père
- c. The circumflex accent (ˆ) can be placed over a, e, i, o, u:
Jérôme
These accents usually indicate the pronunciation of the vowel but in some cases they distinguish the word itself:
<table width="200" border=0><tr align="center"><td>ou = or</td><td>où = Where</td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td>la = the</td>
<td>là = There</td></tr></table>
