ратуша

Russian

Etymology

Inherited from Old East Slavic ратуша (ratuša), from Polish ratusz, from Middle High German rāthūs; compare German Rathaus. Polish /ʃ/ replaced Middle High German s because at the time, this letter was pronounced as apicoalveolar /s̺/ (with a weak hushing sound, similar to Castilian Spanish) and was distinct from the letter written z, pronounced as laminoalveolar /s/ (with a strong hissing sound, similar to English).
