Etymology

From Old Portuguese Ã, Ā, Ȧ; originally A with a superscript N.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ɐ̃/
• When à occurs word-finally in a word without an acute or circumflex diacritic (as in maçã), the last syllable is stressed.

Letter

à (upper case, lower case ã)

1. the letter A with a tilde

Usage notes

à never occurs initially, so the capital form is only used in words written completely uppercase.
