Spinal Tap notwithstanding, the n-diaresis character appears to be authentic, according to the Rosetta Project site. -- Anon.

The list of phonemes does not include the n-diaresis. Is it an alternate way of writing ŋ? Gwalla | Talk 20:16, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It seems to be the character used in Jacaltec orthography to spell the nasal velar "ŋ". I.e. it is an orthographic peculiarity, not a phonetic one. I wouldn't appear as phoneme, as it isn't an IPA character (or if it was it would be "centralized aveolar nasal" but what would that mean?) Zeimusu | Talk 23:54, 2005 Jan 26 (UTC)

[edit] Move proposal (Aug 2006)

An article rename is proposed for this page and a number of other Mayan language articles. Please see and comment at the centralised discussion for these at Talk:Mayan languages.--cjllw | TALK 05:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
