Have we ever had a squad with more players with accents in their names?

And vowels! Enough with the f••kin vowels already! Give me a hard consonant any day!

This thread got me interested in over the last couple of year's how many muslim players have we had.

 

I thought let me check about Dusan and found this from an old BBC article !!!!

 

"Dusan Tadic is a small-town cafe owner and karate instructor who has been described both as a loving family man, and as a freelance executioner at a concentration camp for Muslims during the Bosnian war."

Anyway back to my original thought, obviously Jaidi, Belhmadi anyone else ? I am sure there are plenty.

 

Also wanted to check Ramadan wasn't in season given this year's is finished and next years is mid June- mid July.

I'm pretty sure we've never named a squad of players with so many different accents, though ...

Yeah Yousef.

 

Where you going with this?

[SNSUN]

Ronald and Erwin's surname sounds like it should have an accent...

[SNSUN]

Didn't we go through a period with a lot of double barrelled names in the team too?

That looks like the kind of thing david from sweden would write!

 

Perhaps with more bolding though.

As a professional editor, I am unable to overcome my urge to tell you that they are not all accents, but they are all diacritics.

 

'š' uses what is known as a caron, or possibly a breve. (They are similar. It just depends on the language and/or typeface. I think Slavic languages favour the caron.)

 

'ó' uses an accute accent, while 'è' uses a grave accent. The 'ï' in 'Taïder' uses an umlaut.

 

Okay, nerd lecture over ...

Mick Channon had an accent and nobody minded about it

Many thanks. A much needed touch of intellectual rigour, sadly lacking most of the time on this forum.

"Intellectual rigour" is by far the nicest way someone has told me I'm anal. Haha.

Yep, noticed that as soon I'd posted, but I don't know how to edit comments. Even editors make typos, but I was hoping nobody would notice. Cheers!
