Letters

In addition, the following characters with diacritics are used: Áá, Àà, Ââ, Ãã, Ää, Ææ, Çç, Ćć, Éé, Èè, Êê, Ëë, Ģģ, Íí, Ìì, Îî, Ïï, Óó, Òò, Ôô, Öö, Õõ, Œœ, Şş, Úú, Ùù, Ûû, Üü. These are not, however, treated as independent letters in collation, nor do they have entries of their own in Alisian dictionaries. When two words differ only in the presence or absence of a diacritic, the one without it is collated first.
