Some English words retain diacritics to distinguish them from others, such as resumé, exposé, lamé, öre, pâté, piqué, and ''rosé'', though these are sometimes also dropped (for example, melée/melee and ''résumé/{{Typo|res|umé}}''<!-- Please do not change this to "résumé/résumé", as using only one diacritical mark is acceptable, which is what this is illustrating. -->, is often spelt ''resume'' in the United States (as the US equivalent of ''curriculum vitae''). To clarify pronunciation, a small number of loanwords may employ a diacritic that does not appear in the original word, such as ''maté'', from Spanish ''yerba mate'', or ''Malé'', the capital of the [[Maldives]], following the French usage.
