1 diacritics are broader in concept than accents but most diacritics in Spanish are accents.

2 accentuation is a proper subset of orthography but it does little harm to include it.

  • yup, and "acentuación" is applied towards pronunciation , while the "diacriticos" are the actual position of the orthographic mark. You can have a "diacriticos" because you might not know if the accent has to be marked, or you might have an "accentuation" question because you don't know the right pronunciation.
