Ц is for tsar

This is a slightly tricky one. It is pronounced like the "zz" in "pizza" and transliterated usually as "ts," but sometimes as "cz." In handwriting it appears as Цц, with little connecting loops that are smaller than those on Уу.

Царь (tsar') is the title of the ruler of the Russian Empire. Our tsar is Nikolai Romanov II. He has a big beautiful palace in St. Petersburg. My cousin goes to university there. My cousin does not like the tsar very much.
