==Translingual==

===Letter===
{{mul-letter|upper=È|lower=è|sc=Latn}}

# In French, Italian, Occitan and Catalan the [[è]] is pronounced /ɛ/ as opposed to ''é'' which is pronounced /e/.
# In Italian it is used to indicate a stressed ''e'', /ɛ/, at the end of a word.
# In older writings on Old Icelandic or Old (West) Norse (e.g. ''A grammar of the Icelandic or Old Norse tongue'') [[è]] is used instead of the modern [[é]] to denote that the phoneme is different in character (a rising diphthong) compared to [[á]], [[í]], [[ó]], [[ú]] and [[ý]] (falling diphthongs or monophthongs).
