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 . In Czech and Slovak, ni is pronounced ňi. In Russian, Ukrainian and similar languages, soft vowels (е, и, ё, ю, я) also change previous нtoнь in pronunciation.

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).
