Che , Persian چه, DMG če orچيم čīm , is a letter of the Persian alphabet that does not belong to the Arabic alphabet . It was added by the Persians to the spelling of the “Tsch” sound, which is missing in standard Arabic . In the same function, the Tsche also belonged to the Ottoman-Turkish alphabet used in Turkish until 1928 (see Ottoman language ) and is still used in Jawi , Urdu and several other alphabets to this day. The basic form of the Tsche corresponds to the Arabic letter Jim , but is written with three instead of one point. The Tsche has no numerical value.

Egyptian Arabic

In Egyptian Arabic , the letter becomesج dschīm pronounced as / g / and is accordingly called gīm . The sound / dsch / is used in Egyptian-Arabic asچwith 3 dots, then referred to as jīm , reproduced. This letter is mainly used in transcriptions from foreign languages ​​and can stand for both affected (with “d” → English “j”) and for unaffected (without “d” → French “j”) “dsch”.

  • Example: چيلي كولا'Jelly Cola' (a fruit gum with a cola flavor). (Noteچ with 3 points)
