![]() In Finnish and Estonian, š occurs only in loanwords. Certain variants of Belarusian Latin and Bulgarian Latin also use the letter. Moreover, Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, and Montenegrin standard languages adopted the Gaj's Croatian alphabet alongside Cyrillic thereby adopting "š", while the same alphabet is used for Romanization of Macedonian. Some orthographies such as Bulgarian Cyrillic, Macedonian Cyrillic and Serbian Cyrillic use the " ш" letter which represents the sound "š" would represent in Latin alphabets. From there, it was first adopted into the Croatian alphabet by Ljudevit Gaj in 1830 to represent the same sound, and from there on into other orthographies, such as Latvian, Lithuanian, Slovak, Slovene, Karelian, Sami, Veps and Sorbian. The symbol originates with the 15th-century Czech alphabet as introduced by the reforms of Jan Hus.
