Livonian Õõ /ɨ/, Ȭȭ /ɨː/

The tilde is a variable-use diacritic.

Unicode recognizes the following precomposed tilde-appended letters: ã ẽ ĩ ɫ ñ õ ũ ṽ ỹ

The two most common uses originate from the Iberian peninsula:

  • Nasalization
    • Portuguese marks its nasal vowels by ã õ (from older aⁿ oⁿ).
    • Inspired by this, the IPA marks nasalization of any segment with a superscript tilde, as in [ã].
    • Several other nat- and conlangs follow suit.
  • Palatalization

Other uses include:
