N-apostrophe (’n, a letter preceded by an apostrophe) is a digraph used in Afrikaans, a language spoken in South Africa and Namibia.
== Grammar == The letter is the indefinite article of Afrikaans, and is pronounced as a schwa. The symbol itself came about as a contraction of its Dutch equivalent '' meaning "one" (just as English an comes from Anglo-Saxon ān, also meaning "one"). Dit is ’n boom.
