Answer 1

Every word has an accent. Not every word has a "tilde". is that what you are asking?

Answer 2

The word Chile does not have a written accent on it.

Answer 3

Indeed, every word has an accent, however, not every word has a tilde. To pronounce the word Chile, you must emphasise on "CHI", so, you must do it this way : CHIle.

Chileno:

I have always found that flag to be interesting. Here is the flag where I was born.

Maybe we are related?

Yeah, I think you're the one that posted a cowboy's pic along with a huaso's pic and asked if we were relatives... I don't remember the post exactly, but I posted about a prank done in one of the Post Offices in Texas and mixup with the flags. :) - chileno, Dec 9, 2011

Answer 5

It has the same pronunciation as "chile" (the pepper(in Mexico))

Answer 6

Well I thought in some volume of forgotten lore Chíle had a tilde, of course I cant find it, so I am joining Vicentes camp and agreeing completely with his proper pronunciation, as this is how I hear it as well.

Answer 7

Yes, the accent is around "Santiago"

Although, farallon is grammatically correct, I was taught to call that and accent, later on they told us it was also a tilde, and that tilde was the name of the accent.

Hmmm. clear as mud...uh?
