Special characters : , , , ,
(vowels with 'tonic accent')
prononciation:
The various sounds in
Spanish, the letters are always
pronounced the same, as
shown on the left-hand side.
The Spanish language uses
'tonic accents' to prolong a
vowel sound.
If a word ends with a vowel,
or 'n' or 's', the intonation is
usually on the penultimate
syllable.
Rule 2 - If a word ends with
a consonant other than 'n' or's', the intonation is usually
on
the last syllable.
If the intonation in a word
doesn't follow rules 1 or 2,
then the syllable that is
intoned needs a written accent
mark over the vowel.
