A few fun facts:

  • The weird squiggly above the n is called a tilde.
  • It’s pronounced “en-yay”
  • Español contains the enye, so learn how to say it!
  • Wikipedia: “Historically, “ñ” arose as a ligature of “nn”: the tilde was shorthand for the second “n”, written over the first.[1] This is a letter in the Spanish alphabet which is used for many words, for example, the Spanish word año (anno in Old Spanish) “year” is derived from Latin ANNVS.” (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%91)
