Tagalog
editEtymology 1
editFrom earlier nang, from Proto-Greater Central Philippine *naN (indefinite object marker). See also ni and ang.
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 combination with tilde using English language typewriters in the American occupation period of the Philippines, caused it to be dropped in writing. Compare mga.
