What is é called in French?
Accent tréma, or the dieresis looks like two little dots above the letter and is used with e, i, and u (ë/ï/ü). And its only function is to indicate that the letter in the French word should be pronounced distinctly from the vowel that precedes it - for example, Noël (Christmas).

What are the 5 vowels in French?
In French, the vowels are a, e, i, o, u and y . Sometimes they can be written with marks above them called accents. They do not always make the same sound as in English. When combined with other vowels or consonants, they can then make a completely different sound.
What are the 5 accent marks?
In French, there are five diacritical marks, the acute accent, the grave accent, the circumflex, the diaeresis and the cedilla – so now let's look at each one in turn.
How many French accents are there?
There are actually as many as 28 different accents or dialects for the many different regions of France. They include the Alsatian, Lorrain, Champenois, Picard, Normand, Breton, Tourangeau, Orléanais, Berrichon, Paris, Burgundy, Marseille, Corsica, Lyon, Gascony and Languedoc dialects.
Is e French?
French. Ë appears in words like French Noël. Like in Dutch, it is used to indicate that the vowel should not be monophthonged. For example, Noël is pronounced [nɔɛl], whilst Noel would be pronounced [nœl].
How is e pronounced?
Anyway, since “ê” is basically just a form of writing “es”, which makes the syllable closed (see the next section), “ê” is usually pronounced /ɛ/ (as “e” in “bet”).
