10. A handheld electronic device, comprising: a plurality of input members, the input members having a number of linguistic elements assigned thereto, including diacritical input members having a non-diacritical version of linguistic elements assigned thereto and at least one diacritical version of those linguistic elements assigned thereto, and other non-diacritical input members having only non-diacritical versions of linguistic elements assigned thereto; a display; a processor apparatus comprising a processor and a memory in electronic communication with one another, said processor apparatus having stored therein a linguistic source and a number of routines which, when executed on said processor, cause said handheld electronic device to perform operations comprising: detecting an actuation of one of the input members; based upon the detection of the actuation, determining whether to output (i) a non-diacritical version of a linguistic element assigned to the one of the input members or (ii) a diacritical version of the linguistic element assigned to the one of the input members in response to the actuation, the determination comprising: determining whether the actuation corresponds to a first alphanumeric input for the enabled input, based upon a determination that the actuation corresponds to a first alphanumeric input for a textual input, determining to output the non-diacritical version of the linguistic element assigned to the one of the input members, and based upon a determination that there have been previous alphanumeric inputs for the enabled input, determining whether to output the non-diacritical version or the diacritical version of the linguistic element based on whether the previous alphanumeric inputs satisfy a predetermined condition; and outputting the determined output using the output apparatus.
