In the medieval use of the Roman alphabet, and in many languages—not only in Spanish—the tilde (<sup>~</sup>) was often used to represent ''n'' or ''m'' over the preceding letter in order to save space, so ''ñ'' stood for ''nn'', ''õ'' stood for ''on'' or ''om'', ''ẽ'' stood for ''en'' or ''em'' (e.g. ''diferẽcia'' for ''diferencia'' “difference”), etc. The phonetic value [ɲ] for ''ñ'' was favoured in the Spanish language because, in the evolution from [[Latin language|Latin]] to Spanish, the Latin sequence ''nn'' (phonetically [nn], a “long n”) often ends in the Spanish sound [ɲ], for instance Latin ''canna'' > Spanish ''caña'' “reed”</ins>.</div></td></tr>
