Tone
[edit]Here are the instances for the accents. There will be more coming soon.
Acute, long vowels: ó, ą́, ę́, ė́, ý, ı̨̇́, ū́, ų́
Grave, short vowels: à, è, ì, ù
Circumflex, long vowels: ã, ẽ, õ, ą̃, ę̃, ė̃, ỹ, ı̨̇̃, ū̃, ų̃
Circumflex, short vowels: ã, ẽ
Diphthongs
[edit]Compound diphthongs: ái - aĩ, áu - aũ, éi - eĩ , ùi - uĩ
Mixed diphthongs: ál - al̃, ám - am̃, án - añ, ár - ar̃, él - el̃, ém - em̃, én - eñ, ìl - il̃, ìn - iñ, ìm - im̃, ìr - ir̃, ùl - ul̃, ùm - um̃, ùn - uñ, ùr - ur̃, ér - er̃
Complex diphthongs: íe - iẽ and úo - uõ.
Foreign diphthongs used in Lithuanian: èl - el̃, èm - em̃, èn - eñ, èr - er̃, òl, òm, òn, òr, èu, òi, òu
I've also found Lithuanian accentuation useful, as it is very detailed.
The acute are long vowels, and have a falling (ˆ) tone. Tildes have rising tone. I reckon that grave tones are used for short falling tone.
