Words Starting with "N"

Na is a small, informal interjection or syllable used in casual speech, often conveying acknowledgment, hesitation, or a light refusal. In some languages it forms part of words or phonetic sequences rather than standing as a full lexical item. It functions as a brief vocal sound rather than carrying independent semantic weight in most contexts.

The term NAACP is an acronym for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It is pronounced as a string of initials, typically spoken as individual letters rather than as a word, emphasizing the initialism’s identity in civil rights discourse. The pronunciation is concise and widely recognized in English-speaking contexts, especially within journalism and academic writing about race relations and social justice movements.
