Shin (also spelled Šin (šīn) or Sheen) literally means “sharp”; It is the twenty-first letter in many Semitic abjads, including Phoenician , Aramaic/Hebrew ש, and Arabic ش (in abjadi order, 13th in modern order). Its sound value is a voiceless sibilant, [ʃ] or [s].
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Sigma (Σ) (which in turn gave Latin S and Cyrillic С), and the letter Sha in the Glagolitic and Cyrillic scripts (Ш).
The South Arabian and Ethiopian letter Śawt is also cognate.
