You pronounce _tsar_ /zar/? And my boyfriend that said that we mangle all
foreign words when we adopt them in French... What I find strange is that
you have no problem with affricates like /tS/ and /dZ/, but you cannot
handle affricates like /ts/ and /dz/ (or even /gz/ like Xena /Zina/ that we
pronounce in French /gzena/). Do you have an explanation for that?
Just wondering...
