S[]

⟨sch⟩ is used in German to represent [ʃ]. It was also used in medieval Polish orthography. It is used in Swedish, always pronounced as a sje sound /ɧ/, when that sound occurs at the end of a French loanword, for example marsch (Fr. marche), or when that sound appears in a small number of Greek loanwords, such as schema (schedule) and ischias. In Middle English, ⟨sch⟩ was the most common spelling for this sound, replacing earlier ⟨sc⟩ of Old English; it was replaced in turn by ⟨sh⟩ in Modern English. Most words with ⟨sch⟩ in Modern English are based on Latin orthography, where the ⟨ch⟩ is /k/. An exception is the word schedule (from the Late Latin schedula), where the English pronunciation of ⟨sch⟩ is /ʃ/ or /sk/, depending on dialect.

In German, when a ⟨t⟩ is added in front of it, the resulting tetragraph ⟨tsch⟩ becomes [tʃ]. Similarly, German adds a ⟨d⟩ for a tetragraph ⟨dsch⟩ in loanwords, to denote the sound [ʤ], as in the word Dschungel (jungle). An orthographic ⟨sch⟩ also occurs in Dutch and Italian, but as a sequence of ⟨s⟩ plus ⟨ch⟩, not as a trigraph. It is pronounced as a cluster: in Dutch [sx], in Italian and often in West Flemish [sk]. In Dutch, however, it is pronounced as [s] as the end of words, as in the common suffix -isch and in some (sur)names, like Bosch and Den Bosch.

In Italian, ⟨sch⟩ is not a trigraph, but rather a combination of ⟨s⟩ and ⟨ch⟩ that produces /sk/. However, when Italian words are loaned into English, many people pronounce ⟨sch⟩ as if it were the German trigraph (e.g. bruschetta).^{[citation needed]}

Rheinische Dokumenta uses ⟨sch⟩ to denote the sounds [ʃ], [ɕ] and [ʂ]. It uses ⟨sch⟩ with an arc below so as to denote [ʒ].

⟨sci⟩ is used in Italian to write the sound /ʃː/ before the non-front vowel letters ⟨a⟩, ⟨o⟩, ⟨u⟩.
⟨sc⟩ is used in Corsican to write the sound /ʃ/ before ⟨e⟩, ⟨ia⟩, ⟨io⟩ and ⟨iu⟩.

⟨scs⟩ is used in Hungarian to write the sound [ʃtʃ].

⟨shʼ⟩ is used in Bolivian dialects of Quechua to write the sound /ʂ/.

⟨shr⟩ is used in Gwich'in to write the sound [ʂ].

⟨skj⟩ represents a fricative phoneme /ʃ/ in some Scandinavian languages. In Faroese (e.g. at skjóta, to shoot)) and in Norwegian (e.g. kanskje, maybe) it is a usually the voiceless postalveolar fricative [ʃ]. In Swedish (e.g. skjorta, shirt) it is often realised as the sje sound [ɧ].

⟨ssi⟩ is used in English to write the sound /ʃ/ in words such as mission. It is used in a few French loanwords in Swedish, pronounced as a sje sound /ɧ/, for example assiett (dessert plate).

⟨ssj⟩ is used in a few words in Swedish to write the sje sound /ɧ/ between two short vowels, such as hässja (hayrack).

⟨sth⟩ is found in words of Greek origin. In French, it is pronounced /s/ before a consonant, as in isthme and asthme; in American English, it is pronounced /s/ in isthmus and /z/ in asthma.

⟨stj⟩ is used in five words in Swedish to write the sje sound /ɧ/; it can also represent the voiceless postalveolar fricative /ʃ/ or the consonant cluster /stʲ/ in Norwegian depending on dialect.

⟨ssz⟩ is a long Hungarian ⟨sz⟩, [sː]. It is collated as ⟨sz⟩ rather than as ⟨s⟩. It is only used within roots; when two ⟨sz⟩ are brought together in a compound word, they form the regular sequence ⟨szsz⟩.

⟨s-c⟩ and ⟨s-cc⟩ are used in Piedmontese for the sequence /stʃ/.

⟨s-g⟩ and ⟨s-gg⟩ are used in Piedmontese for the sequence /zdʒ/.

⟨tch⟩ is used to write the aspirated click /ǂʰ/ in Naro, the aspirated affricate /tʃʰ/ in Sandawe, Hadza and Juǀʼhoan, and the affricate /tʃ/ in French and Portuguese. In Swedish it is used for the affricate /tʃ/-sound in a small number of English loanwords, such as match and batch. In English it is a variant of the digraph ⟨ch⟩, used in situations similar to those that trigger the digraph ⟨ck⟩ for ⟨k⟩.
