I was looking up the on readings for 人. The on readings I found were : ジン、 ニン
I understand the 1st one, jin. The 2nd reading is what I don't understand. I know ニ is ni, but I can't figure out what to do with ン. According to Wikipedia it means ( n [n] [m] [ŋ] before stop consonants ), but I don't understand what that means. Can anyone explain?
Also, what does the wavy squiggly line mean when it comes after a character in a reading?
Thanks,
Jeffrey
