Eng (letter)

Ŋ (minuscule: ŋ), known as eng, agma, or engma, is a Latin-script letter used to represent a voiced velar nasal, as in sing (), ring (), or thing (), in the written form of some languages and in the International Phonetic Alphabet. In Washo, lower-case ⟨ŋ⟩ represents a typical [ŋ] sound, while upper-case ⟨Ŋ⟩ represents a voiceless [ŋ̊] sound. This convention comes from Americanist phonetic notation. In Western Inland dialects of Northern Sámi, eng represents a palatal nasal [ɲ] like ⟨nj⟩ due to a merger; in other dialects, eng represents a velar nasal.
