Name | Voiceless Alveolar Affricate |
Notes | Sounds like English cats, but in English this is a combination of two sounds: [ts]. Old Spanish used to have this sound, written ç or c: çielo, coraçon. Eventually, about 300 years ago it became [θ] in northern Spain and [s] in parts of southern Spain and in all of the the Americas. It's typically written without the ligature on top and as a single unit symbol: [ʦ]. |
