Where does the letter ⟨ñ⟩ come from?
Here’s a quick history!
This article doesn't talk about what I think is the most fun part of the history of ⟨ñ⟩ though!
That tilde / virgulilla was originally another letter ⟨ñ⟩ written above the first! Medieval writers had lots of little tricks and shorthands to save space in manuscripts, since parchment was very expensive. So they would write ⟨nn⟩ in words like “annō” ‘year’ as ⟨ñ⟩ instead, hence Spanish ⟨año⟩ ‘year’.
Want to learn more about the history of writing? Check out my curated list of books on the topic!

Tilde — "꿈속의 바다" | "Sea in a Dream" English lyrics
Even if I shout, it doesn't reach—
A feeble wind is the only thing that covers me.
When the deepening night ends,
I chase the tracks that nobody follows.
Before the seasons' time plucks them,
Flowers will bloom again.
In the last moment, for sure,
Everything will be okay.
Somewhere out there beyond the sea in a dream,
I throw myself into the tranquil waves.
Like blue flames that don't go out,
I can hear the sound of my breathing heart again.
The tears that don't hide even when they collide
Still have no answer.
I try to hold back. I catch my breath
And unwind aloud the hope tangled in my heart.
Before the seasons' time plucks them,
Flowers will bloom again.
In the last moment, for sure,
Everything will be okay.
Somewhere out there beyond the sea in a dream,
I throw myself into the tranquil waves.
Like blue flames that don't go out,
I can hear the sound of my breathing heart again.
Somewhere out there beyond the sea in a dream,
I throw myself into the tranquil waves.
Like blue flames that don't go out,
I can hear the sound of my breathing heart again.
