Why do you not use accent marks in the English language?
Accent marks developed in many languages to denote different ways of pronouncing vowels (as I believe is the case with French) and marking cases where the stressed syllable differs from the general rules (as in Spanish). English, with its many linguistic influences, did not develop this system in its written spelling, perhaps because it has an unusually high number of vowel sounds (not just a e i o u and y but the actual phonetic sounds, all 12, long and short vowels as well as dipthongs like the ai sound in "ride." Denoting all of these with a separate symbol simply isn't how the written language progressed, and would be a highly complex way of writing. English also doesn't have as rigid of emphasis rules as Spanish has, making it difficult to distinguish which words' stressed syllables should have accents in English.
