Usage notes

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/.
