Etymology
For the origin of the letter, see.

Single s in prevocalic position is pronounced, except when it follows an obstruent within the word stem (e.g. , , , ). is usually retained in recent borrowings from English (e.g. ), to a lesser degree also in recent borrowings from other languages (e.g. ). Words from the classical languages and pre-1900 loanwords behave like native words.

Stem-initial st and sp are pronounced and  in native words. The same is generally true for classical and pre-1900 loanwords, though in this case we find some exceptions which are at least optionally pronounced with (e.g., ). Recent borrowings tend to retain the original sounds. Again, this tendency is stronger with English than with other source languages (cf. e.g. with ).

The trigraph sch is pronounced, except when there is an intervening morpheme boundary, which normally happens only with the diminutive suffix (cf. e.g. ).

Otherwise, pre-consonantal and word-final s is always pronounced. This also includes st, sp when they are not stem-initial. The same is generally true for doubled ss. There are, however, a few words in which ss may – optionally – be pronounced (e.g., , , ). For the orthographic choice between ss and, see the latter.

San

Etymology 1
As a synonym of introduced into ethnology from the 1960s, from  (singular ) "foragers; people without wealth", via. Occasional citation as the Nama term for "Bushmen" from the 1880s.

Noun

 * 1)  Any of the foraging non-Bantu ethnic groups of southwestern Africa.

Usage notes

 * San is the plural form, used for the group collectively. Individuals are referred to as "a San man", "a San woman" etc., although when referring to individuals, reference to their specific nation is preferable (as in, "a ǃKung man" etc.).
 * San became popular in 1970s western anthropology as a politically correct replacement for "Bushmen", which was perceived as outdated. However, it turned out that San was a derogatory term for "foragers" used by the pastoralist Khoikhoi, while "Bushman" carried no derogatory connotations, so that experts who had been in actual contact with the group recommended the continued use of "Bushmen" (Henry Harpending). By the 2000s, it was reported that San had mostly lost its derogatory connotations in South Africa and was partly embraced as self-designation, while it continued to be perceived as an insult in parts of  the central Kalahari in Namibia.

Usage notes

 * The German Sie expresses distance in the relation between two persons. It is not perfectly correct to say that it expresses respect. has never been used to address gods and saints. Towards parents it was only briefly used during the 18th century by some of the upper classes. (In both of these cases, however,  was formerly possible alongside .) Even royal highnesses used to be addressed as du, albeit not personally but in songs and poems (compare the famous "").
 * Sie is identical in form to the third person plural pronoun and takes the same verb form. The "polite" Sie is distinguished in writing by capitalization. The only form which is not capitalized is the reflexive . When addressing a person with Sie, one generally needs to replace the third person plural pronoun with the demonstrative  ("those ones") to avoid confusion: Wissen Sie, was die zu mir gesagt haben? − “Do you know what they said to me?”

Declension

 * The genitive case Ihrer is more and more rarely used in modern German.
 * The genitive case Ihrer does not express ownership, so it must not be confused with the possessive pronoun Ihr, which is declined by gender, singular/plural and case.
