En with descender

En with descender (Ң ң; italics: Ң ң) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter En (Н н) by adding a descender to the right leg. It is used in several mostly Turkic languages to represent the voiced velar nasal /ŋ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨ng⟩ in "sing". In some cases, it also represents allophones of /ŋ/, most commonly the voiced uvular nasal /ɴ/. The Cyrillic letter En with descender is romanized as ⟨ng⟩ or ⟨ñ⟩.
