You know how in Spanish, there are upside down question marks and exclamation points? Could you name other languages where there are upside down question marks or exclamation points?
True or False: In Spanish, words are spelled exactly like they sound. In other words, they don't have silent letters.

See answer to cowgirl4 question: why are question marks upside down? posted earlier today.
I don't know of other languages that do this. Most other European languages I've seen have punctuation similar or the same as English.

I agree with you because English copies many phrases and grammar rules from European languages. - llamalovers000, Mar 7, 2013

Mapudungún (Mapuche people's language) uses them also. They originally come from the southern part of Chile and Argentina. http://futatraw.ourproject.org/descargas/canumil.pdf
