"Where does the ‘ñ’ come from?" by Esther Nieto at #TheConversation.

Three #Latin contexts make the ñ appear:

• NI/NE+vowel: VINEA->VIÑA
• GN: AGNELLUS->AÑOJO
• NN/MN: ANNUS->AÑO

In the #MiddleAges to save time, paper and ink, the nn was abbreviated with an n with a small virgulilla above: the letter ñ was born.

ñ was adopted in #Spanish and #Galician. In #Italian and #French, it was represented by gn, in #Catalan, ny, and in #Portuguese and #Occitan, as nh
