Spelling accent characteristics, types and examples

The orthographic accent It is one that is represented by an oblique line (') or tilde placed on the vowel of the syllable where the greatest force of pronunciation in a word falls. Its use in the Spanish language is subject to the rules of accentuation according to the classification of the words, that is: if they are acute, serious (or flat) or esdrújulas.

The spelling accent is unique to only some words. Remember that all words have an accent, but the accent is placed only on those that meet all the guidelines established by the Royal Spanish Academy.

From the above it is understood that the words esdrújulas always have an accent, while the grave and acute are subject to whether they end in a vowel or certain consonants. According to the type of words are the conditions to carry or not accent.

For example: in the case of ca-mission (acute) the accent is placed because it ends in a consonant "n". Now in the serious word the-piz the orthographic accent is present because it ends in a different consonant than "n" and "s". While Yes-la-ba represents the esdrújulas.
