From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ń (minuscule: ń) is a letter in the Belarusian Łacinka, Polish, Kashubian and Sorbian alphabets, representing IPA: /ɲ/. It is formed from the letter N with the addition of an acute accent.

Ń is pronounced just like Czech and Slovak ň, Serbo-Croatian nj, Spanish ñ, and Portuguese nh.
