The Letter Ñ ñ

Oh yes! Let' s settle this once and for all. The n with the squiggly line on top. How do you pronounce that?

The letter Ñ(lower case ñ) is used in critical words like baño, jalapeño and piñata among others. Without some of these words you could get yourself into some trouble.

To type out an ñ hold the alt key down, type in 164 on your number pad and let go of the alt. Bam! You got an ñ. Use 0209 for a capital Ñ.

The letter ñ is pronounced: Ehnyeh

When its used in a word you really only hear the nye sound. To make it easy, where ever you see an ñ, use the word 'new' in its place. Here are some example...

Baño (means restroom) is pronounced: Bah-newoh

Jalapeño is pronounced: Hah-lah-peh-newoh

Piñata is pronounced: Pee-new-ah-tah

Learn it. I don’t want to hear you say Jaw-law-pe-no anymore. :)
