Diacritics [edit]
Since the introduction of the monotonic system of spelling in 1982 there have only been two diacritics used in everyday writing: the accent ΄ (the τόνος) and the diaeresis ¨ (the διαλυτικά), occasionally these are combined ΅ (eg καΐκι). Every word with more than one syllable has a vowel which is pronounced with emphasis and marked with an accent.
Greek has two other marks, which are used when writing Greek numbers: the numeral sign ʹ (eg αʹ) and the lower numeral sign ͵ (eg ͵α)
