PHONEME /š/






1. This phoneme is represented by means of the letter <x> or the diagraph <ix>.

2. In initial position and after a consonant <x> usually represents /š/:

xocolata, xoriço, corxera, arxiu, etc.

    However, there are exceptions:
marxista /mər’ksistə/

3. Between vowels and in final position, <ix> is instead used

calaix, naix, etc.

NOTE: Valencian speakers tend to pronounce the /i/ of the <ix> combination, but it is not pronounced in the rest of the linguistic domain.
