===Etymology===
For the origin of the letter, see {{m|mul|s}}.

{{col-top|2|Orthography and pronunciation}}
Single ''s'' in prevocalic position is pronounced {{IPAchar|/z/}}, except when it follows an [[obstruent]] within the word stem (e.g. {{m|de|Achse}}, {{m|de|bugsieren}}, {{m|de|Lotse}}, {{m|de|schubsen}}). {{IPAchar|/s/}} is usually retained in recent borrowings from English (e.g. {{m|de|Sex}}), to a lesser degree also in recent borrowings from other languages (e.g. {{m|de|Salsa}}). Words from the classical languages and pre-1900 loanwords behave like native words.

Stem-initial ''st'' and ''sp'' are pronounced {{IPAchar|/ʃt/}} and {{IPAchar|/ʃp/}} in native words. The same is generally true for classical and pre-1900 loanwords, though in this case we find some exceptions which are at least optionally pronounced with {{IPAchar|/st/|/sp/}} (e.g. {{m|de|Stil}}, {{m|de|Stola}}). Recent borrowings tend to retain the original sounds. Again, this tendency is stronger with English than with other source languages (cf. e.g. {{m|de|Spaghetti}} with {{IPAchar|/ʃp/}}).

The trigraph ''sch'' is pronounced {{IPAchar|/ʃ/}}, except when there is an intervening morpheme boundary, which normally happens only with the diminutive suffix {{m|de|-chen}} (cf. e.g. {{m|de|Häuschen}}).

Otherwise, pre-consonantal and word-final ''s'' is always pronounced {{IPAchar|/s/}}. This also includes ''st, sp'' when they are not stem-initial. The same is generally true for doubled ''ss''. There are, however, a few words in which ''ss'' may – optionally – be pronounced {{IPAchar|/z/}} (e.g. {{m|de|Fussel}}, {{m|de|Massel}}, {{m|de|quasseln}}, {{m|de|Schussel}}). For the orthographic choice between ''ss'' and {{m|de|ß}}, see the latter.
