Shcha (Щ щ; italics: Щ щ), Shta or Sha with descender is a letter of the Cyrillic script. This page was last changed on 11 June 2022, at 10:21. Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and the GFDL; additional terms , alternatively transliterated Ša (Ш ш; italics: Ш ш) is a letter of the Glagolitic Cyrillic scripts. It commonly represents the voiceless postalveolar fricative /ʃ/. More precisely, the sound in Russian denoted by ш is commonly transcribed as a palatoalveolar fricative but is actually a voiceless retroflex fricative /ʂ/. 18 I understand that the difference between "щ" and "ш" is (roughly) the difference between "shya-" and "sha-". But how do you differentiate "щ" and "шь"? For example, I always differentiated, for example "н" and "нь" as "na-" and "nya-". By that logic, to me, "щ" and "шь" sound the same when I pronounce it.
