English Written Z Spain D͡z Voiced Aveolar Affricate

Symbol d͡z
Name Voiced Aveolar Affricate
Notes Sounds like English adze, but in English this is a combination of two sounds: [dz]. Old Spanish used to have this sound, written z: hazer, . Eventually, about 300 years ago it became first [ʦ] and then [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: [ʣ].
