In Polish, it appears directly after ⟨n⟩ in the alphabet, but no Polish word begins with this letter, because it may not appear before a vowel (the letter may appear only before a consonant or in the word-final position).[2] In the former case, a digraph ⟨ni⟩ is used to indicate /ɲ/. If the vowel following is /i/, only one ⟨i⟩ appears.
