( ` ) is a diacritical mark used in written Catalan, French, Greek until 1982 (polytonic orthography), Italian, Norwegian, Occitan, Portuguese, Scottish Gaelic, Vietnamese, Welsh, Dutch, and other languages

The word grave is derived from the Latin gravis (heavy)

The ISO-8859-1 character encoding includes the letters à, è, ì, ò, ù, and their respective capital forms

In English the word is sometimes pronounced "grahv", IPA (IPA: /ɡɹɑːv/), not like grave meaning "serious" or a "tomb"

comes from French, where it is pronounced similarly: accent grave (IPA: /aksɑ̃ ɡʁav/)

Keyboard Help

first used in the polytonic orthography of Ancient Greek, where it occurred only on the last syllable of a word, in cases where the normal high pitch (indicated by an acute accent) was lowered because of a following word in the same sentence

ASCII and Unicode quotation marks

marks the stressed vowel of a word in Catalan and Italian

In Welsh, the accent is used to denote a short vowel sound in a word which would otherwise be pronounced with a long vowel sound, for example mẁg "mug" versus mwg "smoke"

In Scottish Gaelic, it denotes a long vowel (the use of both é and ó in addition to è and ò is now discouraged, and only the grave accent is used)

In some tonal languages such as Vietnamese and Mandarin Chinese (when written in Hanyu Pinyin or Zhuyin Fuhao), the grave accent is used to indicate a falling tone

In Portuguese, the grave accent indicates the contraction of two consecutive vowels in adjacent words (crasis)

most often used in English in poetry and song lyrics
