Umlauts take too long to write, please use a line like ū instead, thank you :)

Kinda like a 7 or a Z with a line through it? Just an extra line that makes no different that some people choose to write

Just looked it up, it's because the u de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Kurrent_U.svg would look like a n de.wikipedia.org/wiki/U#/media/File:Kurrent_N.svg otherwise in old style writing

the diacritic you describe is called macron, and it's pronounced entirely different. changing umlauts into it is burger tier retarded. I have no idea what "point" you have beyond that.

I do that
iirc when my grandpa was teaching me, that's how the military did it to help distinguish letters and numbers if the handwriting is shit

Again you might want to check your reading comprehension

You should use Norwegian letters instead, the same sounds but no annoying dots|

Norwegian script is pretty aesthetic t b h.

While German is my second language I did have to make a choice between Swedish and Norwegian and went with the former, but I do envy the o

Wait does Jow Forums not take "o" (the o with a line through it) or did my autocorrect screw me over

Doesn't work. But somehow it works on /a/, on the board where it'd get the most use however it's banned.

That's odd, it's not too arcane of a character

It's part of a spam filter or something.
But I believe it was added to computers way later than å and æ, it has long tradition of being troublesome in digital situations, being erased or requiring replacements and other difficulties.

Interesting.

you:
>I don't like your diacritic, you should change it into another diacritic
me:
>that would also change the pronunciation

what more is there to "comprehend"

But å ä and ö is the best letters.

Nah man, the Norwegian one is cooler

Meh, it's equal. I spend about half my time in Bergen so I use both.

I like the Icelandic letters þ and ð

>þ
literal rune used by vikangz

Oh nice. I didn't know that. The Icelandic language looks cool and Viking-like in general.

Based letters.
Starting a course in Icelandic next year. Looking forward to it.

Oh that's cool man. You planning on going over there or just learning it for the sake of learning?

Lots of people write it like this here. Nothing wrong with it and everybody can read it.

Oh I've been to Iceland about 7-8 times already.
I have distant relatives over there.
Just don't speak the language. But I will.

>>that would also change the pronunciation

But it doesn't. Besides, the dots are ugly as fuck and we should change it.

You dont write out the umlat, you write it like this : á

You mean like this? If so, then yes.

Nah, you just prick your pen.

Hmm, no. That isn't commonplace.

Yes it is.

Ah, Åå? Yes, that is written with a dot sometimes. However, it's considered an independent letter, not an overring.

They aren't exclusively Icelandic letters. They stem from Elder Futhark runes which were used by all Germanics, and they were still being used in English as an extension to our current Latin alphabet as late as the 15th century. Much of the fucked up spelling in modern English can be blamed on people trying to substitute Germanic letters for Latin ones. Examples:

What the fuck is an umlaut, that's a diéresis

Post pic of your keyboard

*ĸëÿḃöäṙḋ¨Ïäÿöüẗ

Äëïöü

All spanish vowels have diéresis variant

nice shit eating grin you fuck

based

Jajaja el güerito

All Spanish keyboards have a key that you press before a vowel to give it an accent (áéíóú) or diéresis (äëïöü)

I mean write on paper, I have software for quicker foreign keys but it's still 3 key presses (ü is alt > quotes > u for example). The quotes part is annoying

On paper you either get used to writing them quick or write them after you finish writing the word.

It's to distinguish 1 from 7 and Z from 2. I understood this as a fucking child...
