1. diaeresis

   Diaeresis is a linguistic term referring to a mark placed over a vowel in order to indicate that it should be pronounced separately from the preceding syllable, as in the words 'naïve' and 'coöperate'. It is also known as dieresis or umlaut, and is represented by two dots ( ¨ ).

1. Diaeresis

   The diaeresis or trema is a diacritic that consists of two dots placed over a letter, most commonly a vowel. When that letter is an i or a j, the diacritic replaces the tittle: ï. The diaeresis and the umlaut are diacritics marking two distinct phonological phenomena. The diaeresis indicates the pronunciation also known as diaeresis, or hiatus, in which a vowel letter is not pronounced as part of a digraph or diphthong. The umlaut indicates a sound shift. These two diacritics originated separately: the diaeresis is considerably older. Nevertheless, in modern computer systems using Unicode, the umlaut and diaeresis diacritics are identical: ⟨ä⟩ represents both a-umlaut and a-diaeresis. The same symbol is also used as a diacritic in other cases, distinct from both diaeresis and umlaut, for example in Albanian where ë represents a schwa.
