Nya is an onomatopoeia for the sound a cat makes. Typically associated with pop culture representations of felines, catgirls/boys, and other cat-like beings.
Whenever I read this sort of Faux-Russian I pronounce it in my head like the kid in this Yeralash skit pronounces his english: https://youtu.be/-2LaVuvCj-I

НЯ is pronounced nya which apparently can mean "cute" in Russian. Guess that might be the joke?
Cat is Кошка in Russian / кіт in Ukrainian

If 'R' is pronounced 'arr' then is 'Я' pronounced "rra'?
Aqarius@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 8d
"Ya". And the Cyrillic "H" is an N. So, ня = nya.

Я выглядит как перевёрнутая R. Человек думал, что это HR, а это НЯ - милота, оно же nyan.
