/ɲ/ In Czech and Slovak, ň represents , the palatal nasal, similar to the sound in English ca nyon. Thus, it has the same function as Albanian, Macedonian and Serbo-Croatian nj / њ, French and Italian gn, Catalan and Hungarian ny, Polish ń, Occitan and Portuguese nh, Galician and Spanish ñ, Latvian and Livonian cedilla and Belarusian, Russian, Rusyn and Ukrainian нь.

In the 19th century, it was used in Croatian for the same sound.

In Slovak, ne is pronounced ňe. In Czech, this syllable is written ně. In Czech and Slovak, ni is pronounced ňi. In Russian, Ukrainian and similar languages, soft vowels (е, и, ё, ю, я) also change previous н to нь in pronunciation.

/ŋ/ In Turkmen language, ň represents the sound , the velar nasal, as in English thi ng. In Turkmen's Cyrillic script, this corresponds to the letter Ң ң (En with descender). In Janalif, it corresponds to the letter Ꞑ ꞑ (N with descender). In other Turkic languages with the velar nasal, it corresponds to the letter Ñ ñ (N with tilde).
