Sz is the thirty-second letter of the Hungarian alphabet. Its name is (using English pronunciation with letter romanization) "ess" in the alphabet. It represents /s/.

In Hungarian, even if two characters are put together to make a different sound, they are considered one letter, and even acronyms keep the letter intact. Thus, names like Liszt are pronounced /list/.

In Polish, sz represents /ʂ/ and s represents /s/, which is the opposite for Hungarian, wherein s represents /ʃ/ (a sound similar to /ʂ/).

These examples are Hungarian words that use the letter sz, with the English translation following.
  • szabó = tailor
  • szép = beautiful
  • szikla = rock
  • szőke = blonde
  • szülő = parent
