In this language, {{angle bracket|ñ}} is considered a separate letter called ''[[Ñ|eñe]]'' ({{IPA|es|ˈeɲe|IPA}}), rather than a letter-diacritic combination; it is placed in Spanish dictionaries between the letters {{angle bracket|n}} and {{angle bracket|o}}. In Spanish, the word ''tilde'' actually refers to diacritics in general, e.g. the acute accent in ''José'',<ref>{{cite book |title=Ortografía de la lengua española |year=2010 |publisher=Real Academia Española |location=Madrid |isbn=978-84-670-3426-4 |page=279 }}</ref> while the diacritic in {{angle bracket|ñ}} is called "virgulilla" ({{IPA|es|birɣuˈliʝa|IPA}}) ([[yeísta]]) or ({{IPA|es|birɣuˈliʎa|IPA}}) (non-yeísta).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=virgulilla |title=Lema en la RAE |publisher=[[Real Academia Española]] |access-date=10 October 2015}}</ref> Current languages in which the tilded {{angle bracket|n}} ({{angle bracket|ñ}}) is used for the [[palatal nasal]] consonant {{IPA|/ɲ/}} include {{div col|colwidth=8em}} * [[Asturian language|Asturian]] * [[Aymara language|Aymara]] * [[Basque language|Basque]] * [[Chamorro language|Chamorro]] * [[Filipino language|Filipino]] * [[Galician language|Galician]] * [[Guaraní language|Guaraní]] * [[Iñupiaq language|Iñupiaq]] * [[Mapudungun]] * [[Papiamento]] * [[Quechua languages|Quechua]] * [[Spanish language|Spanish]] * [[Tetum language|Tetum]] * [[Wolof language|Wolof]] {{div col end}}
