Ş ş (S-cedilla) is a letter used in Turkish, Azeri, Tatar, Kurdish, Crimean Tatar and Turkmenian languages.
This letter is pronounced similarly to "sh" — IPA: [ʃ].
Example words: Eskişehir, Şımarık
Example names: Hakan Şükür, Hasan Şaş, Rüştü Reçber
It is sometimes used to represent the Romanian letter Ș/ș (S with comma) on outdated systems which do not support the glyph. Example word: Timișoara.
The letter ş is sometimes used to represent a "pharyngealized s" when transliterating such languages as Arabic, although the letter ṣ is more frequently used for this letter. See Tsade.
