Ze (З з; italics: З з) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.

It commonly represents the voiced alveolar fricative {{IPA|/z/}}, like the pronunciation of {{angbr|z}} in "zoo".

Ze is romanized using the Latin letter {{angbr|z}}.

The shape of Ze is very similar to the Arabic numeral three {{angbr|3}} and the Cyrillic letter E {{angbr|Э}}.

History and shape

Ze is derived from the Greek letter Zeta (Ζ ζ).

In the Early Cyrillic alphabet its name was {{Script|Cyrs|землꙗ}} (zemlja), meaning "earth". The shape of the letter originally looked similar to a Greek or Latin letter Z with a tail on the bottom ({{Slavonic|ꙁ}}). Though a majuscule form of this variant ({{Slavonic|Ꙁ}}) is encoded in Unicode, historically it was only used as caseless or lowercase.[1]

In the Cyrillic numeral system, Zemlja had a value of 7.

Medieval Cyrillic manuscripts and Church Slavonic printed books have two variant forms of the letter Zemlja: з and {{Slavonic|ꙁ}}. Only the form {{Slavonic|ꙁ}} was used in the oldest ustav (uncial) writing style; з appeared in the later poluustav (half-uncial) manuscripts and typescripts, where the two variants are found at proportions of about 1:1.[1] Some early grammars tried to give a phonetic distinction to these forms (like palatalized vs. nonpalatalized sound), but the system had no further development. Ukrainian scribes and typographers began to regularly use З/з in an initial position, and {{Slavonic|ꙁ}} otherwise (a system in use till the end of the 19th century). Russian scribes and typographers largely abandoned the widespread use of the variant {{Slavonic|ꙁ}} in favor of з in the wake of Patriarch Nikon's reforms.[1] They still used the older form mostly in the case of two З's in row: {{Slavonic|ЗꙀ}} (the system in use till the mid-18th century).

The civil (Petrine) script knows only one shape of the letter: З/з. However, shapes similar to Z/z can be used in certain stylish typefaces.

In calligraphy and in general handwritten text, lowercase з can be written either fully over the baseline (similar to the printed form) or with the lower half under the baseline and with the loop (for the Russian language, a standard shape since the middle of the 20th century).

Phonetic value

The letter Ze may represent:

  • {{IPA|/z/}}, the voiced alveolar sibilant (Macedonian, Bulgarian, Bosnian, Serbian, Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian);
  • {{IPA|/zʲ/}}, if followed by {{angbr|ь}} or any of the palatalizing vowels, as in Russian зеркало {{IPA|[ˈzʲer.kə.ɫə]}} (“mirror”);
  • {{IPA|/s/}}, the voiceless alveolar sibilant (in final position or before voiceless consonants);
  • {{IPA|/sʲ/}}, if followed by {{angbr|ь}} in final position or before voiceless consonants;
  • /ʒ/ or /z̠/, (Iron dialect of Ossetian, but /z/ in Digoron and Kudairag);
  • clusters {{angbr|зж}} and {{angbr|зш}} are pronounced in Russian as if they were {{angbr|жж}} and {{angbr|шш}}, respectively (even if {{angbr|з}} is the last letter of a preposition, like in Russian без жены “without wife” or из школы “from school”);
  • cluster {{angbr|зч}} (sometimes also {{angbr|здч}}) is pronounced in Russian as if it was {{angbr|щ}} (рассказчик “narrator”, звёздчатый “stellar, star-shaped”, без чая “without tea”);
  • cluster {{angbr|дз}} can be pronounced (mostly in Ukrainian and Belarusian) as the voiced alveolar affricate {{IPA|/dz/}} (Ukrainian дзеркало “mirror”) or its palatalized form {{IPA|/dzʲ/}} (Belarusian гадзіннік “clock”), but if {{angbr|д}} and {{angbr|з}} belong to different morphemes, then they are pronounced separately. In the standard Iron dialect of Ossetian, this cluster simply stands for /z/; other dialects treat it as the affricate /d͡z/.

З-shaped Latin letters

Zhuang

A letter that looks like Cyrillic Ze (actually, a stylization of digit 3) was used in the Latin Zhuang alphabet from 1957 to 1986 to represent the third (high) tone. In 1986, it was replaced by {{angbr|j}}.
