Sha (Ш, ш) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, representing the consonant soun /ʃ/ or /ʂ/. It is roughly equivalent to sh in English, ch in French, sch in German, ש in Hebrew, ş in Turkish, or sz in Polish. In most Latin-alphabet Slavic languages (Czech, Slovak, Serbian, Slovene, Croatian) this sound is written š, and linguists have adopted this symbol to transliterate ш into the Latin alphabet.
