Heng is a letter of the Latin alphabet, originating as a typographic ligature of '' h'' and '' ŋ''. It is used for a voiceless ''y''-like sound, such as in Dania transcription of the Danish language. It was used word-finally in early transcriptions of Mayan languages, where it may have represented a uvular fricative. It is sometimes used to write Judeo-Tat. It has been occasionally used by phonologists to represent a hypothetical phoneme in English, which includes both and as its allophones, to illustrate the limited usefulness of minimal pairs to distinguish phonemes. Normally and are considered separate phonemes in English, even though a minimal pair for them cannot be constructed, due to their complementary distribution. It is also used in Bantu linguistics to indicate a voiced alveolar lateral fricative (). Both and are encoded in Unicode block Latin Extended-D; they were added with Unicode version 5.1 in April 2008. Transcription A variant form, , is encod ...

Unified Northern Alphabet
The Unified Northern Alphabet (UNA) (russian: Единый северный алфавит) was created during the Latinisation in the Soviet Union for the Indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East, "small" languages of the North. Systematic work on the development of writing in the languages of the peoples of the North began in 1926, when the Northern Faculty (known as Institute of the Peoples of the North, the Institute of the Peoples of the North (IPN) since 1930) of the Leningrad Oriental Institute (:ru:Ленинградский восточный институт, ru) was established. The alphabet was initially planned to serve as an alphabet for Chukchi language, Chukchi, Even language, Even, Evenki language, Evenki, Nivkh language, Gilyak, Itelmen language, Itelmen, Ket language, Ket, Koryak language, Koryak, Mansi language, Mansi, Nanai language, Nanai, Nenets languages, Nenets, Sami languages, Saami, Selkup language, Selkup, Siberian Yupik ...

Eng (letter)
Eng or engma ( capital: Ŋ, lowercase: ŋ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, used to represent a voiced velar nasal (as in English ''sii'') in the written form of some languages and in the International Phonetic Alphabet. In Washo, lower-case represents a typical sound, while upper-case represents a voiceless sound. This convention comes from Americanist phonetic notation. History The ''First Grammatical Treatise'', a 12th-century work on the phonology of the Old Icelandic language, uses a single grapheme for the eng sound, shaped like a g with a stroke . Alexander Gill the Elder uses an uppercase G with a hooked tail and a lowercase n with the hooked tail of a script g for the same sound in ''Logonomia Anglica'' in 1619. William Holder uses the letter in ''Elements of Speech: An Essay of Inquiry into the Natural Production of Letters'', published in 1669, but it was not printed as intended; he indicates in his errata that “there was intended a character for Ng, viz., ...
