The grave accent marks the stressed vowels of words in Maltese , Catalan , and Italian. A general rule in Italian is that words that end with stressed -a , -i or -u must be marked with a grave accent. Words that end with stressed -e or -o may bear either an acute accent or a grave accent, depending on whether the final e or o sound is closed or open , respectively. Typists who use a keyboard without accented characters and are unfamiliar with input methods for typing accented letters sometimes use a separate grave accent or even an apostrophe instead of the proper accent character.
This is nonstandard but is especially common when typing capital letters: Other mistakes arise from the misunderstanding of truncated and elided words: It most commonly appears in books for children or foreigners, and dictionaries—or to distinguish between near- homophones: Then, it forces the stress on the accented word-syllable instead of having a different syllable in the stress group getting accented. In turn, it changes the pronunciation and the whole meaning of the group. Ukrainian , Rusyn , Belarusian , and Russian used a similar system until the first half of the 20th century.
Now the main stress is preferably marked with an acute, and the role of the grave is limited to marking secondary stress in compound words in dictionaries and linguistic literature.
In Serbo-Croatian and in Slovene , the stressed syllable can be short or long and have a rising or falling tone. They use in dictionaries, orthography, and grammar books, for example four different stress marks grave, acute, double grave, and inverted breve. The system is identical both in Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
In modern Church Slavonic , there are three stress marks acute, grave, and circumflex , which formerly represented different types of pitch accent. There is no longer any phonetic distinction between them, only an orthographical one. The grave is typically used when the stressed vowel is the last letter of a multiletter word.
The grave accent marks the height or openness of the vowels e and o , indicating that they are pronounced open: In several languages, the grave accent distinguishes both homophones and words that otherwise would be homographs:. In Welsh , the accent denotes a short vowel sound in a word that would otherwise be pronounced with a long vowel sound: The use of acute accents to denote the rarer close long vowels, leaving the grave accents for the open long ones, is seen in older texts , but it is no longer allowed according to the new orthographical conventions.
