Ą

Not to be confused with A with ogonek (Cyrillic).

Ą (minuscule: ą) is a letter in the Polish, Kashubian, Lithuanian, Creek, Navajo, Western Apache, Chiricahua, Osage, Hocąk, Mescalero, Gwich'in, Tutchone, and Elfdalian alphabets. It is also used for reconstructing Proto-Germanic (e.g., for representing the ending of a- stem neuter nouns).

It is formed from the letter a and an ogonek ("little tail") and usually, except in modern Lithuanian and Polish, denotes a nasal a sound.
