Talk:ñaño

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

i created the pages ñaño and ñaña after hearing people speaking Spanish here in America. I had learned the words earlier in school and was taught that they meant specifically "older brother" and "older sister" , but it seems that the dialectal semantic variation is huge. all i want now is to harmonize them. i think its safe to say that whoever uses ñaño just to mean "brother" in the broad sense will also use ñaña to mean "sister" in the broad sense. therefore the 2 pages should be identical except for gender.
