Personally for my own experience, I've always had English speaking friends that always find my own languages words with accents because they're not used to them

[Bloodborne]

I'm scratching my head to process all this

Why doesn't english have accents?
Isn't english basically a mix of French and German? It seems weird we don't have any accents when those languages do

English needs accents. I think if English had accents we could get rid of silent letters and combinations.
Instead of writing:
"I ran through the field in fear"
Write:
"I rán ƒrü ḑâ field in fêr"
Short and makes sense, no need for extra letters.

Here's a short summery for accent marks in few indic languages :

For short a, e, i, , o, u we use no accent marks.

For long vowels
We use ā, ē, ī, ō, ū
Like for comparision a in mārtyr (long) and a in apple (short).
And the two u in ūrdu (first one us short and second one is long.

For retrofelx letters like d in daddy
We write it as  ḍ, otherwise its soft d like deus.

For retroflex r like in reese's. We write it as ṛ .
ñ is like spanish ñ.

In urdu sometimes vowels are half conjoined with the consonant before them and pronounced, we write them as á, í and ú. There are very less words in english language with this configuration.
Sometimes n is ṉ, like the first n in lanna (laṉ'na.)

Now in sanskrit and sanskrit derived languages sometimes we add an aṉusarga or a visarga. Which add as an am and aha sound at the end of the word respectively. We write an ṃ and an ḥ in the end to indicate that.

In romanification of south indian languages 'oo' is pronounced as a long u sound like in 'pool'. Like in the indian distric of 'coorg'
