The latin alphabet (The one used in Latin, English, and many other languages) traces it's roots back to the anciend Greek alphabet (and a bit further) where it is pronounced Zeta and after a while when English started it was pronounced Zed. Currently there are two different ways of pronouncing it: Zed and Zee.
In the UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and India it is pronounced "Zed"
In the USA it is pronounced "Zee".
There are not any letters z in this sentence, but there are two places where you pronounce /z/: words and friends. You pronounce them as /z/ because d is a voiced sound.
Chez Panisse is a famous restaurant in California. The correct way to pronounce Chez Panisse is "Sheh Pah-nees". The letter Z will be silent.
That would be the letter "X", which unless used alone or hyphenated is pronounced as a "Z" or a combination of the letters X and Z. (xylophone, Xavier, xenophobe)
The pronunciation of words is determined by language rules and conventions. In English, the "x" in "xylophone" is not pronounced as a "ks" sound because it follows the rules of the letter combination "xy" which is typically pronounced as a "z" sound.
like this; A-Z-Z-A-R-O
The British pronounce the last letter "zed", as do most Australians. Much more sensible than "zee" which can be confused with "cee" and other letters.
