Kim,
InPortuguese you will most often find the tilde over a before o. For
example, San Franciso in English and Spanish is Sao - with a tilde over
the a - Francisco in Portuguese. Mano is Spanish is mao - with a tilde
over the a - in Portuguese. Circumflex will most often be over an o
occurring as the only vowel in a syllable. It would be very rare to find
umlauts in Portuguese. Even in the Linguistics Department in Brazil we
just ignored the umlaut in the word lingüística .
