Also:


(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language)English (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language): X is a double consonant or, rather, a sign for the compound consonants [ks]; or sometimes when followed by an accented syllable beginning with a vowel, or when followed by silent h and an accented vowel [gz] (e.g. exhaust, exam); usually [z] at the beginnings of words (e.g. xylophone), and in some compounds keeps the [z] sound, as in (e.g. meta-xylene). It also makes the sound [kʃ] in words ending in -xion. It can also represent the sounds [gʒ] or [kʃ], for example, in the words luxury (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury) and sexual (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual), respectively. When the letter X begins a word in the English language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language) such as xynene and a z sound is created the X is said to be silent. Final x is always [ks] (e.g. ax/axe) except in loan words such as faux
