I know there has been questions similiar on SO but I am not sure if it fits my query

I am trying to replace all the diacritics like á, í, ó, ú, ý into a, i, o, u, y. Is there a consolidated regex that would return only the diacritics so that I can replace them accordingly? kindly give me a detailed methodology of approaching this issue.

    Considered using Normalizer? – hwnd Sep 18 '14 at 01:38
  • That is the thing. We are not allowed to use Normalizer – jagvirsingh5 Sep 18 '14 at 01:48
  • The only thing available to do this without Normalizer is collation feature, which is available on a handful of languages. BRE and ERE supports this, and I think Perl should have support for this. Otherwise, if you don't have a Normalizer, you won't be able to write clean code to remove the diacritic if it is a single character. – nhahtdh Sep 18 '14 at 03:01
