Introduction
Introdução
Called “tilde” in English, the til is a diacritical accent mark used in Portuguese to indicate nasalization. Its use (or lack thereof) can dramatically change the meaning of a word, so it is important to know when to use and how to pronounce it.
Students with a background in Spanish may recognize this character from there. However, in Portuguese it is used with vowels, while in Spanish it appears with “n” to create a /ny/ or /ng/ sound.
