Tildes in Inglish The tilde is used on the following letters: b̃, c̃, g̃, h̃, m̃, ñ, p̃, s̃, x̃, z̃. The tilde represents a yod sound /j/ following the letter. This often indicates that word stress occurs before the letter with the tilde, but in some cases, the stress comes after. Examples (Modern English to Inglish): continue → contiñue (stress on the 'i' before the ñ) communicate → com̃uniqete (stress on the 'u' after the m̃) More Examples: fabulous → fab̃uloʃ particular → partic̃ular to argue → ta arg̃ue human → h̃uman museum → m̃usíom ammunition → am̃onicion annual → añual to amputate → ta amp̃utete pure → p̃ure to purify → ta p̃urifae The Letter s̃ s̃ represents an unvoiced postalveolar fricative /ʃ/ when it occurs at the beginning or end of a word.
