The Spanish words 'año' (year) and 'España' (Spain) contain the letter ñ, called eñe. It comes from a double nn. One of the n's was abbreviated as a squiggle on top of the other: ñ. 'Año' comes from Latin 'annum' with nn, but 'España' comes from 'Hispāniam'. My graphic explains how it got its ñ:

'Tōfu no kado ni atama wo utte shinē' is a Japanese insult that translates as 'Go and hit your head on a corner of tofu and die.'

'Car', 'to change', 'piece' - English borrowed these words from French, which inherited them from Latin. But they weren't native Latin words. Latin got them from Gaulish, an extinct Celtic language. Gaulish was a great-aunt of Welsh, Irish and Breton. Six common Romance words of Gaulish origin:
