1. A letter of the North Frisian alphabet, written in the Latin script.

• Word or stem-initial ⟨s⟩ is always voiceless. Otherwise the voice distinction is allophonic in Sylt Frisian: occurs intervocalically after a (stressed) long vowel, else . In the other dialects the distinction is phonemic. The general tendency, here too, is that follows short vowels and follows long ones, but there are many exceptions to this rule of thumb.
• Palatal ⟨sj⟩ is usually pronounced at the start of a word or stressed syllable. However, in Mooring and predominantly also in Föhr-Amrum Frisian, the spelling ⟨sch⟩ is used for these cases instead of ⟨sj⟩. Compare e.g. Sylt sjocht vs. Mooring schucht.
