Usage and pronunciation of accented N letters
The most iconic accented N is the Spanish ñ (eñe), officially classified as the twenty-seventh letter of the Spanish alphabet. Historically born in medieval scriptoria as a shorthand tilde representing a double 'nn' ligature, the character represents a voiced palatal nasal sound. It is also standard in Galician, Basque, Tagalog, and Chamorro orthographies.
In Polish, the letter ń with an acute accent similarly represents a palatal nasal consonant. Czech and Slovak achieve the identical phonetic result using the caron (ň), while Latvian utilizes a comma/cedilla accent below (ņ) for consonant palatalization.
