Ń

Ń (minuscule: ń) is a letter formed by putting an acute accent over the letter N. In the Belarusian Łacinka alphabet, the alphabets of Polish, Kashubian, and the Sorbian languages and the romanization of Khmer it represents /ɲ/, which is the same as Czech and Slovak ň, Serbo-Croatian nj, Spanish ñ, and Portuguese nh.

In Lule Sami it represents /ŋ/.

In Polish

In Polish, it appears right after n in the alphabet but may not appear in word-initial position or before a vowel. In these cases, ni is used to indicate a palatal (or rather alveolo-palatal) n.

Examples

•  kwiecień (April)
• hańba (disgrace)
• niebo (sky, heaven)
• jedzenie (food)
