Diacritics

See also: Greek diacritics

Since the introduction of the monotonic system of spelling in 1982 there have only been two diacritics in everyday writing: the accent  ΄  (the τόνος) and the diaeresis  ¨  (the διαλυτικά), occasionally these are combined  ΅  as in καΐκι (kaḯki). In general, every word of more than one syllable will be stressed on one of the last three syllables, and this will be marked with an accent.

Greek has two other marks used when writing Greek numbers: the numeral sign  ʹ  (eg Δʹ = 4) and the lower numeral sign  ͵  (eg ͵Δ = 4,000)
