Cyrillic digraphs |
Sha (Ш, ш) is the twenty-third letter in the Cyrillic alphabet. It makes a sound like "sh" in the English word "ship." The small letter ш looks a bit different when it's written in italics.
This letter comes from an old Hebrew letter called Shin.
What is the Cyrillic Letter Sha?

- In German, it's often "sch."
- In French, you might see "ch."
