Cz is a digraph of the Latin alphabet.
Polish
In Polish, cz represents IPA: [t͡ʂ], the voiceless retroflex affricate. It usually corresponds to č in other Slavic languages.
cz should not be confused with ć (or c followed by i), termed "soft tch", a voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate (IPA: [t͡ɕ]).
Examples of cz
ⓘ (hi, hello)
Compare ć:
ⓘ (to be)
ⓘ (train)
Kashubian
In Kashubian, cz represents IPA: [tʃ], the voiceless postalveolar affricate, the same sound as the English ch in church.
Other languages
This digraph was once common across Europe, but has largely been replaced. In French and Catalan, historical cz contracted to the ligature ç, and represents the sound /s/. In Hungarian language it was formerly used for the sound /ts/, which is now written c.
