Macrons and breves are the marks used by dictionaries to show how a word should be pronounced. More specifically, these pronunciation marks show how to pronounce letters within words. Each sound that can be made as a part of speech is called a "phonogram".
Macrons indicate the "Long" sound of a vowel (a,e,i,o,u in English) or vowel combination (e.g., "æ"), brèves are the "Short" sound indicators.
These pronunciation marks are positioned above the letter to which they apply.
