zzZ is the 26th and final letter of the modern English alphabet and the ISO basic Latin alphabet. It descends from the letter s in the Phoenician alphabet, which ultimately arrived in English through the Latin script. Its name in English is zed (pronounced /zɛd/), plural zeds. The form Z is a relatively modern development; originally, z had the same shape as the letter y, so that medieval manuscripts often indiscriminately used either letter for the /z/ sound. In the 16th century, z and y came to be considered separate letters. The letter z represents the voiced alveolar sibilant /z/, as in /ˈzɑːbrə/. The American English pronunciation /ˈziː/ predates the separation of z and y in that language. Z’s common lowercase form ⟨z⟩ can be written as either a cursive s or as a simple stroke.The Letter Z
