Crema (Diaeresis).

The diaeresis is placed over _u_ in "güe" and "güi" when the _u_ is to
be sounded.[5]

[Footnote 5: In poetry also to divide an ordinary diphthong into two
syllables for the sake of rhythm.]

Tilde.

The tilde (~) is used on the letter _N_ to turn it into _Ñ_, as Mañana
(morning) (in old Spanish spelt Mannana).


Notes of Interrogation and Exclamation.

These are used in Spanish both at the beginning and at the end of the
question or exclamation, as ¿Qué quiere V.? (what do you want?),
¡Cuántos sufrimientos! (how much suffering!). Note that at the beginning
they are reversed.

The other signs of punctuation are used as in English.

Capital letters are used as in English with the following exceptions--

(1) Adjectives of nationality are written with small letters, as Un
libro inglés (an English book).

(2) Days of the week generally (and sometimes the months of the year)
are written with small letters.
