Derp I meant the umlaut thing. God damn I am smart.

It is called a diaresis. D-I-A-R-E-S-I-S. Umlaut is a vowel mutation phenomenon, especially common in Germanic languages, like German, Swedish and English.

Seriously?
I never seen one of those in English, also i find it the least germanic languaje.

EDIT: Anyone remember this:

You can spell 'naive' with an umlaut. And English being Germanic is not a preference thing lol. It's a fact.

I know its a fact. Just saying that is the least due roman and celtic influences.

The diacritic in naïve definitely isn't an umlaut, it is a diaresis. English does have umlaut as a sound mutation, however, such as in the words foot – feet, mouse – mice, goose – geese or woman – women. Englis also has ablauts like in sing – sang – sung, swim – swam – swum; English is very Germanic.

EDIT: Some other English words can also have a diaresis like coöperate (and Boötes, technically, since English uses Latin constellation names), but that is rare. The spelling cooperate does indeed imply the pronunciation /ku:pereit/.

Mmm...

Maybe that explains why much words in english aren't spelled like they are wrote. In fact english is germanic but since uses occidental write system, that makes it look desguised.

The spelling is funky because what is now English was first an amalgam of a lot of different Germanic (Anglo-Saxon) accents, dubbed Old English, then was influenced by languages like Norse because of Viking conquests and French because of Norman conquests, and also Latin, as it was the language of the church, as far as I know. Wow that was one long sentence.
