Ɲ
The Ɲ (lower case ɲ) is a letter of the Latin writing system . It consists of an N with a hook pointing to the left that starts from the left leg of the N, and in this respect is to be distinguished from the Ŋ , whose hook starts from the right leg. The letter is included in the Africa alphabet and is used in languages such as B. Bambara and Fulfulde used for a voiced palatal nasal , a sound whose pronunciation is similar to that of Spanish Ñ . The lowercase letter ɲ is also used in the international phonetic alphabet and stands for the same sound.
