On accent in SL

[Adam Schembri]

Hi Nedelina
Are you referring to some aspect of Swedish fingerspelling that attempts
to represent these diacritics? I don't believe grave and acute accents are
used in Swedish, whereas other diacritics are (the a with a small
circle/ring over it) and these are represented by movements of the
handshape.
Regards,
Adam
