The sound /ʃ/ is described as a voiceless postalveolar fricative. The postalveolar fricatives are the major reason why the Glagolitic and later the Cyrillic alphabet were invented, because they can not be written with a simple Roman or Greek letter without diacritics or digraphs. Slavic languages are rich in postalveolar fricatives and affricates, and Sha is one of the most typical letters of the Cyrillic alphabet.
