Ña or Nya is the tenth consonant of Indic abugidas. It is derived from the early "Ashoka" Brahmi letter 13px|ny.

==Historic Ña== There are three different general early historic scripts - Brahmi and its variants, Kharoṣṭhī, and Tocharian, the so-called slanting Brahmi. Ña as found in standard Brahmi, 13px|Nya was a simple geometric shape, with variations toward more flowing forms by the Gupta 13px|Nya. The Tocharian Ña 18px|Nya did not have an alternate Fremdzeichen form. The third form of ña, in Kharoshthi (15px|Nya) was probably derived from Aramaic separately from the Brahmi letter.
