Ogonek

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. In Polish 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.

It should not be confused with the cedilla or comma diacritic marks used in other languages.
