| Sep 12, 2017 at 20:10 | comment | added | Adam Bittlingmayer | Pronunciation of c in Romance changed over time, in Spain it's more like theta. The convention to use ts is common to Central and Eastern Europe, it's not peculiar to Russian. Eg German Zentrum. And not peculiar to this word, eg соцсети. It probably started when prescriptive Latin pronunciations were favoured over vulgar Italian, let alone Latin American ones. Now convention stuck. We likewise will use r for French r and Portuguese r even though their pronunciations have shifted far away. | |
