Ṇa (also romanized as Nna) is a consonant of Indic abugidas. In modern Indic scripts, Ṇa is derived from the early "Ashoka" Brahmi letter after having gone through the Gupta letter . As with the other cerebral consonants, ṇa is not found in most scripts for Tai, Sino-Tibetan, and other non-Indic languages, except for a few scripts, which retain these letters for transcribing Sanskrit religious terms.

Aryabhata used Devanagari letters for numbers, very similar to the Greek numerals, even after the invention of Indian numerals. The values of the different forms of ण are:^[1]

• ण [ɳə] = 15 (१५)
• णि [ɳɪ] = 1,500 (१ ५००)
• णु [ɳʊ] = 150,000 (१ ५० ०००)
• णृ [ɳri] = 15,000,000 (१ ५० ०० ०००)
• णॢ [ɳlə] = 1,500,000,000 (१ ५० ०० ०० ०००)
• णे [ɳe] = 15×10¹⁰ (१५×१०^१०)
• णै [ɳɛː] = 15×10¹² (१५×१०^१२)
• णो [ɳoː] = 15×10¹⁴ (१५×१०^१४)
• णौ [ɳɔː] = 15×10¹⁶ (१५×१०^१६)

There are three different general early historic scripts - Brahmi and its variants, Kharoṣṭhī, and Tocharian, the so-called slanting Brahmi. Ṇa as found in standard Brahmi, was a simple geometric shape, with variations toward more flowing forms by the Gupta . The Tocharian Ṇa did not have an alternate Fremdzeichen form. The third form of ṇa, in Kharoshthi () was probably derived from Aramaic separately from the Brahmi letter.

The Brahmi letter , Ṇa, is probably derived from the altered Aramaic Nun , and is thus related to the modern Latin N and Greek Nu.^[2] Several identifiable styles of writing the Brahmi Ṇa can be found, most associated with a specific set of inscriptions from an artifact or diverse records from an historic period.^[3] As the earliest and most geometric style of Brahmi, the letters found on the Edicts of Ashoka and other records from around that time are normally the reference form for Brahmi letters, with vowel marks not attested until later forms of Brahmi back-formed to match the geometric writing style.

Ashoka (3rd-1st c. BCE)	Girnar (~150 BCE)	Kushana (~150-250 CE)	Gujarat (~250 CE)	Gupta (~350 CE)

The Tocharian letter is derived from the Brahmi , but does not have an alternate Fremdzeichen form.

The Kharoṣṭhī letter is generally accepted as being derived from the altered Aramaic Nun , and is thus related to N and Nu, in addition to the Brahmi Ṇa.^[2]

Ṇa (ण) is a consonant of the Devanagari abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter , after having gone through the Gupta letter . Letters that derive from it are the Gujarati letter ણ, and the Modi letter 𑘜.

In all languages, ण is pronounced as [ɳə] or [ɳ] when appropriate. Like all Indic scripts, Devanagari uses vowel marks attached to the base consonant to override the inherent /ə/ vowel:

Devanagari exhibits conjunct ligatures, as is common in Indic scripts. In modern Devanagari texts, most conjuncts are formed by reducing the letter shape to fit tightly to the following letter, usually by dropping a character's vertical stem, sometimes referred to as a "half form". Some conjunct clusters are always represented by a true ligature, instead of a shape that can be broken into constituent independent letters. Vertically stacked conjuncts are ubiquitous in older texts, while only a few are still used routinely in modern Devanagari texts. The use of ligatures and vertical conjuncts may vary across languages using the Devanagari script, with Marathi in particular preferring the use of half forms where texts in other languages would show ligatures and vertical stacks.^[4]

True ligatures are quite rare in Indic scripts. The most common ligated conjuncts in Devanagari are in the form of a slight mutation to fit in context or as a consistent variant form appended to the adjacent characters. Those variants include Na and the Repha and Rakar forms of Ra. Nepali and Marathi texts use the "eyelash" Ra half form for an initial "R" instead of repha.

• Repha र্ (r) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature rṇa: ^note

• Eyelash र্ (r) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature rṇa:

• ण্ (ṇ) + rakar र (ra) gives the ligature ṇra:

• ण্ (ṇ) + न (na) gives the ligature ṇna:

Vertically stacked ligatures are the most common conjunct forms found in Devanagari text. Although the constituent characters may need to be stretched and moved slightly in order to stack neatly, stacked conjuncts can be broken down into recognizable base letters, or a letter and an otherwise standard ligature.

• छ্ (cʰ) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature cʰṇa:

• ढ্ (ḍʱ) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature ḍʱṇa:

• ड্ (ḍ) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature ḍṇa:

• द্ (d) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature dṇa:

• ह্ (h) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature hṇa:

• ख্ (kʰ) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature kʰṇa:

• ङ্ (ŋ) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature ŋṇa:

• ण্ (ṇ) + ल (la) gives the ligature ṇla:

• प্ (p) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature pṇa:

• ठ্ (ṭʰ) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature ṭʰṇa:

• ट্ (ṭ) + ण (ṇa) gives the ligature ṭṇa:

The Bengali script ণ is derived from the Siddhaṃ , and is marked by a reduced head line, and less geometric shape than its Devanagari counterpart, ण. The inherent vowel of Bengali consonant letters is /ɔ/, so the bare letter ণ will sometimes be transliterated as "ṇo" instead of "ṇa". Adding okar, the "o" vowel mark, gives a reading of /n̳o/. Like all Indic consonants, ণ can be modified by marks to indicate another (or no) vowel than its inherent "a".

ণ is used as a basic consonant character in all of the major Bengali script orthographies, including Bengali and Assamese.

Bengali ণ exhibits conjunct ligatures, as is common in Indic scripts, in the form of both stacked and linear (horizontal) ligatures.^[5]

• গ্ (g) + ণ (ṇa) gives the ligature gṇa:

• ণ্ (ṇ) + ড (ḍa) gives the ligature ṇḍa:

• ণ্ (ṇ) + ঢ (ḍʱa) gives the ligature ṇḍʱa:

• ণ্ (ṇ) + ড্ (ḍ) + র (ra) gives the ligature ṇḍra, with the ra phala suffix:

• ণ্ (ṇ) + ড্ (ḍ) + য (ya) gives the ligature ṇḍya, with the ya phala suffix:

• ণ্ (ṇ) + ম (ma) gives the ligature ṇma:

• ণ্ (ṇ) + ণ (ṇa) gives the ligature ṇṇa:

• ণ্ (ṇ) + ট (ṭa) gives the ligature ṇṭa:

• ণ্ (ṇ) + ঠ (ṭʰa) gives the ligature ṇṭʰa:

• ণ্ (ṇ) + ঠ্ (ṭʰ) + য (ya) gives the ligature ṇṭʰya, with the ya phala suffix:

• ণ্ (ṇ) + য (ya) gives the ligature ṇya, with the ya phala suffix:

• র্ (r) + ণ (ṇa) gives the ligature rṇa, with the repha prefix:

• র্ (r) + ণ্ (ṇ) + য (ya) gives the ligature rṇya, with the repha prefix and ya phala suffix:

Ṇa (ણ) is the fifteenth consonant of the Gujarati abugida. It is derived from the Devanagari Ṇa with the top bar (shiro rekha) removed, and ultimately the Brahmi letter .

The Gujarati script is used to write the Gujarati and Kutchi languages. In both languages, ણ is pronounced as [ɳə] or [ɳ] when appropriate. Like all Indic scripts, Gujarati uses vowel marks attached to the base consonant to override the inherent /ə/ vowel:

Ṇa	Ṇā	Ṇi	Ṇī	Ṇu	Ṇū	Ṇr	Ṇl	Ṇr̄	Ṇl̄	Ṇĕ	Ṇe	Ṇai	Ṇŏ	Ṇo	Ṇau	Ṇ
Gujarati Ṇa syllables, with vowel marks in red.

Gujarati ણ exhibits conjunct ligatures, much like its parent Devanagari Script. Most Gujarati conjuncts can only be formed by reducing the letter shape to fit tightly to the following letter, usually by dropping a character's vertical stem, sometimes referred to as a "half form". A few conjunct clusters can be represented by a true ligature, instead of a shape that can be broken into constituent independent letters, and vertically stacked conjuncts can also be found in Gujarati, although much less commonly than in Devanagari. True ligatures are quite rare in Indic scripts. The most common ligated conjuncts in Gujarati are in the form of a slight mutation to fit in context or as a consistent variant form appended to the adjacent characters. Those variants include Na and the Repha and Rakar forms of Ra.

• ર્ (r) + ણ (ɳa) gives the ligature RṆa:

• ણ્ (ɳ) + ર (ra) gives the ligature ṆRa:

• હ્ (h) + ણ (ɳa) gives the ligature HṆa:

*Note that the ligature for Gujarati HṆa contains the half form of Devanagari Ṇa instead of a form of Gujarati Ṇa.

Ṇa (ణ) is a consonant of the Telugu abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter . It is closely related to the Kannada letter ಣ. Since it lacks the v-shaped headstroke common to most Telugu letters, ణ remains unaltered by most vowel matras, and its subjoined form is simply a smaller version of the normal letter shape. Telugu conjuncts are created by reducing trailing letters to a subjoined form that appears below the initial consonant of the conjunct. Many subjoined forms are created by dropping their headline, with many extending the end of the stroke of the main letter body to form an extended tail reaching up to the right of the preceding consonant. This subjoining of trailing letters to create conjuncts is in contrast to the leading half forms of Devanagari and Bengali letters. Ligature conjuncts are not a feature in Telugu, with the only non-standard construction being an alternate subjoined form of Ṣa (borrowed from Kannada) in the KṢa conjunct.

Ṇa (ണ) is a consonant of the Malayalam abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter , via the Grantha letter Ṇa. Like in other Indic scripts, Malayalam consonants have the inherent vowel "a", and take one of several modifying vowel signs to represent syllables with another vowel or no vowel at all.

As is common in Indic scripts, Malayalam joins letters together to form conjunct consonant clusters. There are several ways in which conjuncts are formed in Malayalam texts: using a post-base form of a trailing consonant placed under the initial consonant of a conjunct, a combined ligature of two or more consonants joined together, a conjoining form that appears as a combining mark on the rest of the conjunct, the use of an explicit candrakkala mark to suppress the inherent "a" vowel, or a special consonant form called a "chillu" letter, representing a bare consonant without the inherent "a" vowel. Texts written with the modern reformed Malayalam orthography, put̪iya lipi, may favor more regular conjunct forms than older texts in paḻaya lipi, due to changes undertaken in the 1970s by the Government of Kerala.

• ണ് (ṇ) + ട (ṭa) gives the ligature ṇṭa:

• ണ് (ṇ) + ഠ (ṭʰa) gives the ligature ṇṭʰa:

• ണ് (ṇ) + ഡ (ḍa) gives the ligature ṇḍa:

• ണ് (ṇ) + ഢ (ḍʱa) gives the ligature ṇḍʱa:

• ക് (k) + ണ (ṇa) gives the ligature kṇa:

• ണ് (ṇ) + ണ (ṇa) gives the ligature ṇṇa:

• ഷ് (ṣ) + ണ (ṇa) gives the ligature ṣṇa:

• ണ് (ṇ) + മ (ma) gives the ligature ṇma:

• ക് (k) + ഷ് (ṣ) + ണ (ṇa) gives the ligature kṣṇa:

Ṇa (ଣ) is a consonant of the Odia abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter , via the Siddhaṃ letter Ṇa. Like in other Indic scripts, Odia consonants have the inherent vowel "a", and take one of several modifying vowel signs to represent syllables with another vowel or no vowel at all.

Odia Ṇa with vowel matras

Ṇa	Ṇā	Ṇi	Ṇī	Ṇu	Ṇū	Ṇr̥	Ṇr̥̄	Ṇl̥	Ṇl̥̄	Ṇe	Ṇai	Ṇo	Ṇau	Ṇ
ଣ	ଣା	ଣି	ଣୀ	ଣୁ	ଣୂ	ଣୃ	ଣୄ	ଣୢ	ଣୣ	ଣେ	ଣୈ	ଣୋ	ଣୌ	ଣ୍

As is common in Indic scripts, Odia joins letters together to form conjunct consonant clusters. The most common conjunct formation is achieved by using a small subjoined form of trailing consonants. Most consonants' subjoined forms are identical to the full form, just reduced in size, although a few drop the curved headline or have a subjoined form not directly related to the full form of the consonant. The second type of conjunct formation is through pure ligatures, where the constituent consonants are written together in a single graphic form. This ligature may be recognizable as being a combination of two characters or it can have a conjunct ligature unrelated to its constituent characters.

• ଣ୍ (ṇ) + ଡ (ḍa) gives the ligature ṇḍa:

• ଣ୍ (ṇ) + ଣ (ṇa) gives the ligature ṇṇa:

Ṇa (𑂝) is a consonant of the Kaithi abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter , via the Siddhaṃ letter Ṇa. Like in other Indic scripts, Kaithi consonants have the inherent vowel "a", and take one of several modifying vowel signs to represent syllables with another vowel or no vowel at all.

Kaithi Ṇa with vowel matras

Ṇa	Ṇā	Ṇi	Ṇī	Ṇu	Ṇū	Ṇe	Ṇai	Ṇo	Ṇau	Ṇ

As is common in Indic scripts, Kaithi joins letters together to form conjunct consonant clusters. The most common conjunct formation is achieved by using a half form of preceding consonants, although several consonants use an explicit virama. Most half forms are derived from the full form by removing the vertical stem. As is common in most Indic scripts, conjucts of ra are indicated with a repha or rakar mark attached to the rest of the consonant cluster. In addition, there are a few vertical conjuncts that can be found in Kaithi writing, but true ligatures are not used in the modern Kaithi script.

• 𑂩୍ (r) + 𑂝 (ṇa) gives the ligature rṇa:

The various Indic scripts are generally related to each other through adaptation and borrowing, and as such the glyphs for cognate letters, including Ṇa, are related as well.

Gupta Brahmi was definitely a stylistic descendant from Kushana, but other Brahmi-derived scripts may have descended from earlier forms. ^ Tocharian is probably derived from the middle period "Kushana" form of Brahmi, although artifacts from that time are not plentiful enough to establish a definite succession. ^ Pyu and Old Mon are probably the precursors of the Burmese script, and may be derived from either the Pallava or Kadamba script ^ May also be derived from Devangari (see bottom left of table) ^ The Origin of Hangul from 'Phags-pa is one of limited influence, inspiring at most a few basic letter shapes. Hangul does not function as an Indic abugida. ^ Although the basic letter forms of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics were derived from handwritten Devanagari letters, this abugida indicates vowel sounds by rotations of the letter form, rather than the use of vowel diacritics as is standard in Indic abugidas. ^ May also be derived from Ranjana (see above) ^ Masaram Gondi acts as an Indic abugida, but its letterforms were not derived from any single precursor script.

Most Indic scripts are encoded in the Unicode Standard, and as such the letter Ṇa in those scripts can be represented in plain text with unique codepoint. Ṇa from several modern-use scripts can also be found in legacy encodings, such as ISCII.

^note Conjuncts are identified by IAST transliteration, except aspirated consonants are indicated with a superscript "h" to distinguish from an unaspirated cononant + Ha, and the use of the IPA "ŋ" and "ʃ" instead of the less dinstinctive "ṅ" and "ś".
