Ogonek Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Ogonek (Polish for “little tail”) is a diacritic hook placed under the lower right corner of a vowel in the Latin alphabet used in Polish, Lithuanian, Navajo and Tutchone. It is also used in scientific transliteration of Old Church Slavonic. In Polish, Old Church Slavonic and Navajo it indicates that the vowel is nasalized ; in Lithuanian it formerly indicated nasalization but this is no longer distinctive. In Navajo it can be combined with the acute accent.

Ogonek should be almost the same size as the lower part of such letters as “p” or “g” (in larger type sizes may be relatively quite shorter) and should not be confused with the cedilla or comma diacritic marks used in other languages.

Example in Polish:

Wół go pyta: „Panie chrząszczu,

Po co pan tak brzęczy w gąszczu?”

— Jan Brzechwa, Chrząszcz
