Classical Latin phonology did not have . It does occur in most of today's Latin-descended languages. For example the ⟨ch⟩ in French chanteur ('singer') is pronounced and is descended from Latin cantare pronounced . The ⟨sc⟩ in Latin scientia ('science') indicated /sk/ but has changed to /ʃ/ in the Italian scienza.
The sound in Russian denoted by <ш> is commonly transcribed as a palato-alveolar fricative but is actually a laminal retroflex fricative.

Famous quotes containing the word occurrence:
“One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
