There is the accent and the tilde

á the line above the a is an accent when used to add emphasis to a letter.

ñ the line above the n is a tilde

In certain words the line above a vowel is also called a tilde

él = Him/He . The line over the E is a tilde, not an accent even though it looks exactly like an accent. The difference is a tilde does not change the pronunciation. It is used to change the meaning of the word. el=the. él= he/him.
