accented vowels used in Spanish
Explanation:
From Oxford Spanish dictionary:

tilde femenino

1 (acento) accent

2 (sobre la ñ) tilde, swung dash

In this case "tilde" is redundant as it's referring to vowels.

agree  Charles Davis: It's not so much redundant as wrong; in English "tilde" only means the ~ on ñ, which is not an accent; nor is the diaeresis, for that matter (strictly speaking). "Accented vowels" is correct, IMO.

Charles is right. Scratch the "tilde or" and leave the rest.

neutral  Charles Davis: Sorry, Benjamin, but here I don't agree; the word "tilde" is used in English but only for the ~ on the ñ, so it's a "falso amigo": http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/tilde?q=tilde
