Usage notes
The diaeresis is used to indicate that two vowels are to be pronounced separately as two syllables, rather than as a diphthong or single vowel. In compound words, a hyphen - is used to separate the syllables instead.
The umlaut diacritic is used only in words of German origin, such as föhn.
