EtymologyEdit

The two-letter spelling originates in a now defunct Spanish language abbreviation convention of drawing a tilde over the abbreviated word, in this case nang, later rendered variously as ng̃, ñg or n͠g. The complications of typing ñ, g̃ or any such tilded combination using English language typewriters in the American era, caused it to be dropped in writing.
