  • Transcribes Chakhar /n/; Khalkha /n/, and /ŋ/. Transliterated into Cyrillic with the letter н.
  • Distinction from other tooth-shaped letters by position in syllable sequence.
  • Dotted before a vowel (attached or separated); undotted before a consonant (syllable-final) or a whitespace. Final dotted n is also found in modern Mongolian words. A dotted pre-consonantal variant can be used to clarify the spelling of n in words of foreign origin.
  • Derived from Old Uyghur nun (𐽺).
  • Produced with N using the Windows Mongolian keyboard layout.
  • In the Mongolian Unicode block, n comes after ē and before ng.

  3. Separated suffixes starting with the letter n include:  ᠨᠠᠷ ‑nar/‑ner or  ᠨᠤᠭᠤᠳ/ ᠨᠦᠭᠦᠳ ‑nuɣud/‑nügüd (plural).
