Encyclopedic overview
Abkhazian Dze (Ӡ ӡ; italics: Ӡ ӡ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is used in Abkhaz where it represents a voiced alveolar affricate [dz], pronounced like ⟨ds⟩ in pods.
It is also used in a 2007 alphabet for the Uilta language, where it represents a voiced postalveolar affricate [dʒ], as in the ⟨j⟩ in jam. It was also used in one 1937 proposal (not adopted) for the Karelian language.
