The Latin letter N can be modified with various diacritical marks or accents to represent specific sounds or phonetic nuances in different languages. Here are a few examples:
- Ñ (N-tilde or Eñe): The letter Ñ, with a tilde (~) placed above it, called “Eñe,” is used in Spanish, Galician and other languages influenced by Spanish. It represents a palatal nasal sound (similar to “ny” in “canyon”). Examples include niño (child), mañana (tomorrow) and año (year).
- Ń (N-acute): The letter Ń, with an acute accent, is used in Polish, Kashubian, and other Slavic languages. It represents a nasal sound similar to the Spanish Ñ, such as in the Polish word “piękny” (beautiful).
- Ň (N-caron): The letter Ň, with a caron (ˇ) or háček, is used in Czech and Slovak. It represents a palatal nasal sound, similar to the Spanish Ñ or Polish Ń. Examples include Ňadro (core) and Ňuchat (to sniff).
- Ņ (N-cedilla): The letter Ņ, with a cedilla (¸), is used in Latvian. It represents a velarized alveolar nasal sound. Examples include Ņemt (to take) and Ņuņģis (nail).
- Ṇ (N-dot below): The letter Ṇ, with a dot below, is used in some African languages, including Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. It represents a nasal sound, similar to the English “n,” but with more nasalization. Examples include Ṇan (mother) and Agṇa (fire).
These are just a few examples of the Latin letter N modified with diacritical marks. The specific usage of these modified N characters may vary in terms of pronunciation and language-specific rules.
It’s important to note that diacritical marks can significantly affect the pronunciation and meaning of words in their respective languages.
