Krio uses the [[Latin script]] but without [[Q]]q and [[X]]x and with three additional letters from the [[African reference alphabet]], [[Latin epsilon|Ɛɛ]] (open E), [[Eng (letter)|Ŋŋ]] (eng), and [[Open O|Ɔɔ]] (open O). Three [[tone (linguistics)|tones]] can be distinguished in Krio and are sometimes marked with [[grave accent|grave]] (à), [[acute accent|acute]] (á), and [[circumflex]] (â) accents over the vowels for low, high, and falling tones respectively but these accents are not employed in normal usage. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Krio language," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krio_language, accessed 10 March 2021.</ref>
