At present, the stuff on Portuguese etc. could be called irrelevant, but perhaps there is room for further discussion of the phoneme, as opposed to just the Spanish grapheme. Ro Thorpe 23:51, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

I'd forgotten about [ɲ]. How exactly does it differ from [nj]? Ro Thorpe 17:50, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

The difference is slight but can be perceived by certain speakers of the Romances languages: [ɲ] is a single sound whereas [nj] is a succession of two different sounds.--Domergue Sumien 21:12, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
