- This disambiguation page is on grammatical Hebrew accents. For dialects, see Hebrew dialects (disambiguation).
There are two types of Hebrew accents that go on Hebrew letters:
- Niqqud, a system of diacritical signs used to represent vowels or distinguish between alternative pronunciations of letters
- Hebrew cantillation, used for the ritual chanting of readings from the Bible in synagogue services
