@EddieKal Yeah, I am sure that people with linguistics knowledge can distinguish both sounds, but from a layman's point of view, they sound somewhat similar!

@FelipeChavesdeOliveira I do not hear any ñ as far as I can recall. Do you have some example?

for whatever reason google translate's TTS pronounces it like that (link) but as far as I know (with my very limited japanese knowledge) that sounds pretty wrong
