why not sh, ch and zh then?
- ajuc 5y agoSlavs don't use these AFAIK but that would also be preferable to sx etc.
- political12345 5y agoBulgarians use those when transliterating bulgarian in thr latin alphabet
- smcl 5y agoIn some slavic languages "sh" and "ch" already exist. In fact in Czech "ch" is considered a single letter
- snidane 5y agoHistorical baggage. The 'c' doesn't contribute to the sound of the czech 'ch' (russian 'x'), unless you read the 'c' as an english 'k'. Kh as in Kharkiv makes more sense.
