'''Tse''' (Ц&nbsp;ц; italics: ''Ц&nbsp;ц'' or <span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">Ц&nbsp;ц</span>; italics: <span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">''Ц''</span>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">''ц''</span>), also known as '''Ce''', is a letter of the [[Cyrillic script]].
 
It commonly represents the [[voiceless alveolar affricate]] {{IPA|/tst͡s/}}, similar but not identical to the pronunciation of zz in "pi'''zz'''a" or ts in "ca'''ts"'''.
 
In the standard Iron dialect of [[Ossetian language|Ossetic]], it represents the [[Voiceless alveolar fricative|voiceless alveolar sibilant fricative]] /s/. In other dialects, including Digoron, it has the same value as in Russian.
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
Tse is thought to have come from the [[Ṣade|Hebrew letter Tsadi]] ⟨{{lang|he|צ}}⟩, via the [[Glagolitic alphabet|Glagolitic]] letter Tsi (Ⱌ&nbsp;ⱌ).<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Zhang |first1=Xiangning |last2=Zhang |first2=Ruolin |date=July 2018 |title=Evolution of Ancient Alphabet to Modern Greek, Latin and Cyrillic Alphabets and Transcription between Them |url=https://www.atlantis-press.com/proceedings/essaeme-18/25900400 |language=en |publisher=Atlantis Press |pages=156–162 |doi=10.2991/essaeme-18.2018.30 |isbn=978-94-6252-549-8|doi-access=free }}</ref>
 
The name of Tse in the [[Early Cyrillic alphabet]] is {{Script|Cyrs|ци}} (''tsi''). New [[Church Slavonic]] and Russian (archaic name) spelling of the name is {{angbr|цы}}. In modern Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian, the name of the letter is pronounced [tsɛ] and spelled {{angbr|цецэ}} (sometimes {{angbr|цэце}}) in Russian, {{angbr|це}} in Ukrainian, and {{angbr|цэ}} in Belarusian.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Kamusella |first=Tomasz |date=2019 |title=The New Polish Cyrillic in Independent Belarus |url=https://www.ceeol.com/search/article-detail?id=898006 |journal=Colloquia Humanistica |language=English |issue=8 |pages=79–112 |doi=10.11649/ch.2019.006 |s2cid=210139937 |issn=2081-6774|doi-access=free |hdl=10023/19031 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>
 
In the [[Cyrillic numerals|Cyrillic numeral system]], Tse has a value of 900. Tse may also have been derived from [[Sampi]] (based on numerical relationship) or [[Coptic script|Fai]] (based on shape and numerical relationship).
 
==Usage==
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
It is the 24th (if [[Yo (Cyrillic)|Yo]] is included) letter of the [[Russian alphabet]]. It is used both in native Slavic words (and corresponds to [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] *k in certain positions) and in borrowed words:
* as a match for the Latin {{angbr|c}} in words of [[Latin]] origin, such as [[:wikt:цирк|цирк]] (circus), [[:wikt:центр|центр]] (centre),
* for the German {{angbr|z}} and {{angbr|tz}} (which in turn both came from the [[High German consonant shift]]), in words borrowed from [[German language|German]], such as [[:wikt:цинк|цинк]] (Zink), [[:wikt:плац|плац]] (Platz),
* {{angbr|ци}} may correspond to Latin {{angbr|ti}} (before vowels), such as сцинтилля<u>ци</u>я (scintilla<u>ti</u>on).
