Maltese

Etymology

The dot indicates the “softer” of two pronunciations, in this case the affricate /t͡ʃ/ instead of the plosive /k/ (the two possible realisations of c in Italian). Compare ġ and ż.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /t͡ʃ/
  • IPA(key): /d͡ʒ/ (per assimilation to a following voiced obstruent)

Letter

ċ (lower case, upper case Ċ)

  1. The third letter of the Maltese alphabet, after b.

Usage notes

  • In contemporary Maltese, the simple letter c is only used in names and not yet integrated borrowings (chiefly from English, as Italo-Romance words are automatically integrated).

Pronunciation
