I don't want to contradict a native speaker, but accents isn't the right word for it. Rather, they're tones and the direction of the 'accents' illustrates how they're supposed to be pronounced. For example 'ā' is a high and constant tone, 'á' is a tone that starts low and rises up (like in a question), 'ǎ' is a tone that starts kind of high, goes lower and then upwards again and 'ŕ' is a tone that starts high and quickly goes low, like in an command sentence (i.e. 'Stop!').

Was German mentioned already? It's 'Kuchen kostenlos' or 'Kuchen gratis'.

In Indonesian it's probably 'gratis kue' (gratis imported from Dutch). I'm not entirely sure, though =(

EDIT: Oops, you already have Germany. Sorry... XD
