In Old Polish, the Proto-Slavic ǫ became ą.
Polish is one of the few Slavic languages that preserve nasal sounds like ą and ę.
The sound ǫ and ą is pronounced like a very open “on” sound, very similar to French numeral one: un or bon.
Interslavic decided to reflect the spelling used in Proto-Slavic and Old Church Slavonic, which used Cyrillic ѫ and Latin ǫ.
