Accent marks are optional in Slovene, and are not used in normal writing. So this is a bit like Latin with macrons. 23:24, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Does the Slovene regulator specify they’re optional, or are they optional because people don’t use them? — Ungoliant (Falai) 20:29, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I would say both. The official standard spelling dictionary of Slovene, Slovenski Pravopis, uses diacritics in the words, but only in their dictionary entries and only for pronunciation purposes. Any other prose in those definitions doesn't use diacritics. On the Slovene Wikipedia, none of the text uses diacritics, but sometimes when a new term is introduced (like in the lede section), it is given diacritics as a pronunciation aid. So they are never used in normal text, but are available to be used to disambiguate a word or to clarify the pronunciation of a new word. Diacritics in Slovene usually indicate the placement of stress, so their usage is very similar to writing something like RECord in English, to indicate that you didn't mean reCORD. 18:54, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
