yes, /ɲ/ is the same sound as “ñ” in Spanish, found in にゃ, にゅ, and にょ (nya, nyu, and nyo). however, that sound is also found in に (ni), so it’s pronounced like “nyi” rather than “ni.”
and I think this goes without saying, but obviously this doesn’t just apply to Hiragana; Katakana and any kanji spellings would also be pronounced like this.
They are similar yes but not exactly the same sound.
It’s an accent Sometimes it’s for effects
Like にゃんにゃん meow meow
you’re not tripping, it’s just a different spelling. you will see /nj/, /nʲ/, and /ɲ/ all used as notations for Japanese <ny>. canonically the latter is the Spanish ñ sound ~~but honestly they all sound the same to me~~ and that’s certainly one of the options of ways to pronounce it in Japanese if not the norm.
i read somewhere that japanese and spanish share the same vowel sounds, so maybe! i’m not sure though
na ni nu neh no なにぬねの
にゃ is pronounced ɲ̟a̠, ñ is /ɲ/, meaning it’s the same sound but the Japanese one is fronted (farther to the front of the vocal tract)
