Usage notes[edit]
The native English form of the word is Zurich, which represents the usual pronunciation with initial /z/. The form Zürich in English arises from the common conception that holds foreign diacritics optional but more correct in English spelling. Both spellings are valid.
- The form Zürich may also be used to indicate the German pronunciation, with initial /ts/.
