Today is the day of the book and the Spanish language. Spanish speakers normally ignore the importance of the letter "Ñ", it is a very beautiful letter because it represents identity in Spanish. As a curious fact this letter was created to replace a sound in medieval Spanish and was written as two "N", but over time it was simplified to be a "Ñ". Something funny that happened to me when I registered here is that I wrote in my name "Entropía" but since there is no symbol "´" in English I am "Entropa" HAHAHAHA Do you have any strange letters or sounds in your native languages?

Malay words are using the same alphabet as English. However, we have another form as writing known as jawi. Alphabets use are the same as Arabic's alphabets.

My native language is Spanish, therefore only what you say about the letter Ñ applies. There are sounds or grammar rules that, as in other languages, will seem strange to foreigners.
