The N is called a "tilde N" and is a separate letter and sound (enye, NY as vowel Y, consonant N) in Spanish. It is seen in jalapeño (hah-lah-PAYN-yoh) and other words such as año, niño, and piñata.
A diacritical squiggle, also known as a tilde, is a small symbol (~) that is placed over certain letters in languages like Spanish and Portuguese to indicate a change in pronunciation. It can also be used in mathematics and computer programming to represent approximation or negation.
n
In Spanish, it is spelled "carin~o" (where the N is designated with the symbol on top of the N, to distinguish and identify it as a "Spanish 'N' " and is pronounced "enye". Therefore, in Spanish "carin~o" is pronounced - "carin-yo". "Carinho" is the Portuguese spelling. In both languages, the word is a "term of endearment" - carin~o or carinho means "loved on" (like the other more popular term "amor" (simply, "love")
There are many "Spanglish" words. One is jeans. I have also had several conversations with Spaniards who call each other pretty boy as an insult. There are also a lot of misappropriated words in Spanish from English in modern Spanish slang. A good example is "crack". If a Spanish person says "Has hecho un crack" it does not mean that you have broken something, but that you have discovered a clever solution to a problem. Spanish also absorbs words from the places that they conquered or had frequent dealings with. Words like "aguacate" (avocado) and "chocolate" come from the Nahuatl (Aztec) words "aguacatl" and "xocolatl". Words like "algodón" (cotton) and "aceite" (olive oil) come from the Arabic words "al-qoton" (القطن) and "az-zeitun" (الزيتون ).

press and hold Ctrl+shift+~ (~ is beside no. 1) then press n.
The trickiest part is the enye. 'Ñ'. or 'enye', such as in 'pestaña' is pronounced as an 'N' next to a 'Y'. Try saying "nyah". That's the end of the word. Before that, you have 'peh-stah'. Sort of like pesto, only with an 'ah' on the end, instead of an 'oh'. Now put it together: 'peh-stah-nyah'. Excellent.
In Spanish, each vowel has only one sound and spelling is as the word sounds. The vowels are a (ah) e (eh) i (ee) o (oh) u (oo as in oops). The Spanish alphabet has a few extra letters than the English alphabet. The letters are ch (che), ll (ey-ye), ñ (enye), and rr (erreh). The h is silent, the j is pronounced like h, and the ll is pronounced like y. If I were to write the words to your question as they sound, using the Spanish alphabet, it would be: Jau du yu spel in Spanish. At in Spanish is "a." Just the one letter.
In an English spelling bee, you would say j-a-l-a-p-e-n-o because the tilde N (ñ) has no name in English and is considered punctuation of the loanword.In Spanish, the ñ has a separate name (enye, pronounced ayn-yay), but of course all the other letters are pronounced differently as well.La palabra jalapeño se escribe (hablado) "jota-ah-ele-ah-peh-eh-enye-oh."(hoh-tah, ah, ay-lay, ah, pay, ay, ayn-yay, oh)
