Nu, or Now (majuscule: Ն; minuscule: ն; Armenian: նու) is the 22nd letter in the Armenian alphabet. It is pronounced as the voiced alveolar nasal /n/ or the voiced velar nasal /ŋ/ before a velar consonant.[1] It is typically romanized with the letter N.[2] Created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century, it can also represent the number 400 in the Armenian number system.[3]
