Ñ, or ñ (Spanish: eñe, ⓘ), is a letter of the modern Latin alphabet, formed by placing a tilde (also referred to as a virgulilla in Spanish, in order to differentiate it from other diacritics, which are also called tildes) on top of an upper- or lower-case n . [1]
Ñ was the one chosen and has been used in almost all texts of the last decades, but the subject remained controversial, and some writers continued to promote the use of the digraph ny. The use of ny was also proposed in an alternative Aragonese orthography , the grafía SLA devised in 2004 by the Sociedat de Lingüistica Aragonesa in 2004.
The voiced palatal nasal is a type of consonant used in some spoken languages.The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ɲ , [1] a lowercase letter n with a leftward-pointing tail protruding from the bottom of the left stem of the letter.
"Historically, ñ represented two N's, written as an N with a smaller N, the tilde ~, over it. For example, the Spanish word año (year) is derived from Latin ANNVS." What? As it says: the tilde originally was a small lowercase n written on top of the other n. So año was originally written anno, which is clearly from the Latin annus.
At the start of a syllable, there is a contrast between three nasal consonants: /m/, /n/, and /ɲ/ (as in cama 'bed', cana 'grey hair', caña 'sugar cane'), but at the end of a syllable, this contrast is generally neutralized, as nasals assimilate to the place of articulation of the following consonant [9] —even across a word boundary.
