When I logged in, the message board tells me I haven't posted anything in a while and asked me to post a question. So here goes...

I've been chugging along in my studies and have been encountering different particles. I was wondering if there was a list anywhere that I could refer to regarding them.

Such as:
-no
-mo
-to
-ni
etc...

I don't want to make a thread just for this so, What an alone 'ん' means? Is it a particle too?

There are some different types of ん.

1) the euphonic change of the possessive particle の
それは僕んだ。 ＝ それは僕のだ。

2) the euphonic change of the archaic auxiliary verb む which means "guess, intention"
君の言わんとすることはわかる。 ＝ 君の言おうとすることはわかる。

3) the euphonic change of the archaic auxiliary verb ぬ which means "negation"
あいつとは気が合わん。 ＝ あいつとは気が合わない。
