I think Polish might fit the bill?

If you want something exotic, how about Livonian a language for which, alas, the last speaker died in 2009.
For a description of a wide range of languages and their use of special marks added to letters, see this wikipedia article about diacritics. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Unusual request. Other than some Native American tongues, I'd say Western Slavic languages: Czech: Á, Č, Ď, É, Ě, Í, Ň, Ó, Ř, Š, Ť, Ú, Ů, Ý, Ž Slovak: Á, Ä, Č, Ď, É, Í, Ĺ, Ľ, Ň, Ó, Ŕ, Š, Ť, Ú, Ý, Ž I believe French, Dutch, and Welsh have quite a number, but they tend to be more heavily vowel associated than the above two examples (which include a lot of consonant diacritics).

Off the top of my head, French uses: é, è, á, à, ò, ô, û, î, â, ç, ï, ë Dutch uses: é, è, ó, ú, ù, á, à, ë, ä, ö, ü, ï but they're pretty rare and only used in loanwords, to indicate stress, to help with the pronunciation or to place emphasis. Dutch also has the vowel -ij which is seen as one letter (at the beginning of a word both letters are capitalized) and it often replaces the -y in the Dutch alphabet since y is only used in foreign loanwords or sometimes to replace the -ij.

Turkish has quite a few letters with symbols under the letters...not sure about above it though. Maybe Arabic....that's all symbols.

As far as I know, Vietnamese has the most diacritics in a Latin alphabet.
