Fortunately, the engine used for the NES MacVenture games double-spaces the text, leaving plenty of room on top for diacritics. I grabbed a random screenshot of
Déjà Vu (English) off the Internet and added a couple diacritics (ring over broad A and dots over other accented A).
Blank page. As a precaution against leeching, NesCartDB sends blank image pages unless the
Referer: header is valid and on the same origin. You have to visit a
cart profile page and then click the image at the bottom.

Toki Pona has 14 distinct sounds: a, e, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, s, t, u, w
Hawaiian has 13: a, e, h, i, k, l, m, n, o, p, u, w, ` (glottal stop)
Central Rotokas has 11: a, b, e, g, i, k, o, p, r, t, u
Pirahã also has 11: a, b, g, h, i, k, o, p, s, t, x (glottal stop)
Flafi was supposed to have four (a, f, i, l), but it never got past the sketch stage.
