Shcha (Щ щ; italics: ''Щ щ'') is a letter of the Cyrillic script. In Russian, it represents the voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative , similar to the pronunciation of in ''sheep'' (but longer); in Ukrainian and Rusyn it represents the consonant cluster ; in Bulgarian, it represents the consonant cluster and in Kurdish, it represents the consonant . In English, Shcha is romanized as or (with hačeks), both reflecting the historical Russian pronunciation of the letter. This can lead to some confusion, as the in the transcription may seem to indicate that Щ is a combination of Ш and a strong Ч, which is not true of Russian, though it is in Ukrainian. The letter Щ in Russian and Ukrainian corresponds to ШЧ in related words in Belarusian. ==History== The Cyrillic letter Shcha was derived from the Glagolitic letter Shta (). The name of Shcha in the Early Cyrillic alphabet was (''šta''). This name is preserved in the modern Bulgarian language - it is pronounced "штъ". Historically in Russian, Shcha represented the consonant cluster , like in the phrase "fresh cheese."
