Tsani, or Tsan (Asomtavruli: Ⴚ; Nuskhuri: ⴚ; Mkhedruli: ც; Mtavruli: Ც; Georgian: ცანი, ცან) is the 30th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]
In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 2000.[2]
Tsani commonly represents the voiceless alveolar (aspirated) affricate /ts⁽ʰ⁾/,[3] like the pronunciation of ⟨ts⟩ in "cats". It is typically romanized with the digraphs Ts, and Ts’, or with the letters C, C’, and C‘.[4]
