Danish doesn't have it.  Icelandic has /c/ for _g_
and /c_h/ for _k_ before front vowels and Faroese
has /tS/ (or perhaps /ts\/ w/o aspiration under
like circumstances.  Norwegian usually spells /s\/
with _kj_, though not before _i_ or _y_. BTW
Finland Swedish has [ts\] (Pinyin <q>) where
Sweden Swedish has [s\] and [s\] where Sweden
Swedish has [X].  English speakers can safely
use [tS] for /s\/ and [S] for [X] **and** [s`].
