Handwritten cursive form of Nje

Nje, or Ñe (Њ њ; italics: Њ њ; also called nye) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.

It is a ligature of the Cyrillic letters En ⟨н⟩ and Soft Sign ⟨ь⟩.[1] It was invented by Vuk Stefanović Karadžić for use in his 1818 dictionary, replacing the earlier digraph ⟨нь⟩.[1] It corresponds to the digraph nj in Gaj's Latin alphabet for Serbo-Croatian.[1]

It is today used in Macedonian, variants of Serbo-Croatian when written in Cyrillic (Bosnian, Montenegrin, and Serbian), Itelmen and Udege, where it represents a palatal nasal /ɲ/, similar to the ⟨ny⟩ in "canyon" (cf. Polish ń, Czech and Slovak ň, Latvian ⟨ņ⟩, Galician and Spanish ñ, Occitan, Portuguese and Vietnamese nh, Catalan and Hungarian ny, and Italian and French gn).

Nje is commonly transliterated as nj but it is also transliterated ń, ň, ñ, or ņ.
