N with long right leg
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Template:Expand language
N with long right leg (majuscule: Ƞ, minuscule: ƞ) is an obsolete letter of the Latin alphabet and the International Phonetic Alphabet. It is encoded in Unicode as Template:Unichar and Template:Unichar.
Template:Angle bracket was used to represent the nasalization of vowels in the Lakota language[1] in that language's 1982 orthography.[2] Later Lakota orthography replaced the letter with Template:Angle bracket,[3] a more common letter that represents a velar nasal sound in many languages.
In the IPA, the letter Template:Angle bracket was used from 1951 to 1976 to transcribe a moraic nasal homorganic with a following consonant, but was removed because it did not indicate a specific phonetic pronunciation and the IPA consists of only glyphs with defined phonetic values. The wildcard letter capital N is often used for something similar today.
Template:Angle bracket is not to be confused with Template:Angle bracket or with Template:Angle bracket, the latter used in the IPA for a retroflex nasal. The lowercase form is graphically similar to the lowercase Greek letter eta, Template:Angle bracket.
