Ny (digraph)
Ny is a digraph in a number of languages such as Catalan, Luganda, Hungarian, Swahili, Malay, and Tagalog. In most of these languages, including all of the ones named above, it denotes the palatal nasal ( ). To represent the palatal nasal in other languages, the letter nj is used, such as in Albanian and the countries using Gaj's Latin alphabet and the countries that make up the former Yugoslavia. It has had widespread use for languages of West Africa, though in some countries, the IPA letter ɲ is now used. It is sometimes used in modern Spanish where ñ cannot be used, such as in earlier computer programming or Internet domain names.
