Cyrillic digraphs

Che or Cha (Ч ч; italics: Ч ч) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet.

It commonly represents the voiceless postalveolar affricate /tʃ/, like the pronunciation of ‹ch› in "change".

In English, Che is usually romanized as ‹ch›, or sometimes as ‹tch›, as in French. In linguistics it is transcribed as ‹č›. Thus Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's surname (Чайковский in Russian) may be transcribed as Chaikovsky or Čajkovskij.

History

The name of Che in the Early Cyrillic alphabet was чрьвь (črvĭ), meaning "worm".

In the Cyrillic numeral system, Che had a value of 90.

Usage

Slavic languages

In all Slavic languages which use Cyrillic, except Russian, Che represents the voiceless postalveolar affricate /tʃ/.

Russian

In Russian, Che usually represents the voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate /t͡ɕ/. There is a small number of words where it represents /ʂ/ (similar to English to ‹sh› /ʃ/ in "shape"); e.g. что, чтобы, бýлочная.

Zhuang

Che was used in Zhuang's Latin alphabet from 1957 to 1986 to represent the fourth (falling) tone, because of its similarity to the numeral 4. In 1986, it was replaced by the Latin letter X.
