Diaeresis might sound uncomfortably like loose bowel movement but is in fact a diacritical mark. It usually indicates the separation of two distinct vowels, this mark being two dots over one of the vowels. It differs to an umlaut, but umlaut - one guesses - is what we think of when we read Montuïri, a municipality unique in Mallorca for having two dots. Perhaps the umlaut association partly explains why Montuïri is popular with German residents. Who knows.
