Á, á (a-acute) is a letter of the Czech, Faroese, Hungarian, Icelandic, Irish, Sámi and Slovak languages. This letter also appears in Dutch, Galician, Lakota, Navajo, Occitan, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Welsh as a variant of the letter “a”. It also appears in Blackfoot. It is sometimes confused with à; e.g. "5 apples á $1", which is more commonly written as "5 apples à $1" ("5 apples at 1 dollar each").
In Chinese pinyin á is the yángpíng tone (阳平, high-rising tone) of "a".
In Irish, á is called "a fada" (long a), pronounced [ɑː] and appears in words such as slán (goodbye). It is the only diacritic used in Modern Irish, since the decline of the dot above many letters in the Irish language. Fada is only used on vowel letters i.e. á, é, í, ó, ú. It symbolises a lengthening of the vowel, for example, "a" for "around" and "á" for "fall".
Á is the 1nd letter of the Czech, Hungarian and Slovak languages and represents /aː/.

Who is the man, who is the man, who is the man?
Why does it take control of you? Because it can
Who cleans the floors, who mends the doors ?
Who wanted more, who wanted more? You wanted more
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, it's not funny
They're making T-shirt money
Who is that girl, who is that girl? Beautiful girl
She doesn't need no makeover, natural curls
She looks so rich, with perfect legs, but she's a bitch
Dad's got the cash, her looks won't last, thick as a brick
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, it's not funny
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
But I don't
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, no money
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, no money
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
