Category:English terms with initial /t͡s/

This category lists English words which can be pronounced with an initial voiceless alveolar affricate. This consonant cluster does not occur at the beginning of native English words, but words containing it have been borrowed into English from a number of other languages, including German, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian and Tswana, and can usually be identified by the prefix ts- or tz- (more rarely cz- or z-). In less formal speech, the sound may be substituted by, or rarely.
