Abkhazian Dze

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abkhazian Dze (Ӡ ӡ; italics: Ӡ ӡ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is used in the Abkhazian language where it represents the voiced alveolar affricate /dz/, pronounced like ⟨ds⟩ in "pods". You go from a ⟨d⟩ to a ⟨s⟩(s in "is").

It is also used in the Uilta language.

This letter was also used in one 1937 proposal (not adopted) for the Karelian language.
