East Slavic Languages
⟨Ѝ⟩ (as well as any other vowel with grave accent) can be found in older (up to the first decades of the 20th century) Russian and Ukrainian books as stressed variants of regular (unaccented) vowels, like Russian вѝна ('wines') vs. вина̀ ('guilt'). Recently, East Slavonic typographies have begun using the acute accent instead of the grave accent to denote the stress: ви́на, вина́.
Stress marks are optional in East Slavic languages. They are regularly used only in special books like dictionaries, primers, or textbooks for foreigners as the stress is very unpredictable in all three languages, whereas in general texts, they are extremely rare and used mainly to help prevent ambiguity in certain cases or to show pronunciation of exotic words.
Some modern Russian dictionaries use a grave accent to denote the secondary stress in compound words (with an acute accent for the main stress), like жѝзнеспосо́бный ('viable') (from жизнь 'life' and способный 'capable').

Famous quotes containing the words east and/or languages:
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
