How do the two dots above a word change the pronunciation?

It depends on what langauge you are talking about. If you mean German: ä: pronounce it like the "a" in ham ö: pronounce it like the "ur" in murder ü: has no equivalent in English but can be described as pronouncing the sound ee with rounded lips. If you mean Russian: ё: pronounced like "yo" or "oh" If you mean French: vowels with two dots above them do not change in pronunciation. The dots just mean that the vowel is separate from the previous vowel, such as naïve.
