Dutch uses the acute accent for emphasis (often seen in "één"); Sardinian
uses the same accent marks used in Italian, but with rules more resembling
Spanish. e.g.:

        DECRARATZIONE UNIVERSALE E SOS DERETOS DE S'ÒMINE
        [...]
        Artìculu 1
        Totu sos èsseres umanos naschint lìberos e eguales in dinnidade e in
deretos. Issos tenent sa resone e sa cussèntzia e depent operare s'unu cun
s'àteru cun ispìritu de fraternidade.

I think that Interlingua uses no diacritics.

Ciao.
