Nje


Nje is a letter of the Cyrillic script.
It is a ligature of the Cyrillic letters En and Soft Sign. It was invented by Vuk Stefanović Karadžić for use in his 1818 dictionary, replacing the earlier digraph. It corresponds to the digraph in Gaj's Latin alphabet for Serbo-Croatian.
It is today used in Macedonian, variants of Serbo-Croatian when written in Cyrillic, Itelmen and Udege, where it represents a palatal nasal, similar to the in "canyon".
