[edit] English
Ts occurs in English, but it is just a combination of the separate letters T and S, not a digraph. It occurs word-initially only in some loanwords, where it represents /ts/ as in tsunami, or tsar.
[edit] Basque
In Basque, ts represents an apical voiceless alveolar affricate (IPA: /t̺s̺/). It contrasts with tz, which is laminal (IPA: /t̻s̻/). It is not considered a letter.

[edit] Hausa
In Hausa, ts represents an alveolar ejective fricative (IPA: /sʼ/) or affricate (IPA: /tsʼ/), according to dialect. It is considered a distinct letter, and placed between T and U in alphabetical order.

[edit] Chinese
The Wade-Giles and Yale romanizations of Chinese use ts to represent an unaspirated voiceless alveolar affricate (IPA: /ts/). Wade-Giles also uses ts' to represent its aspirated equivalent (IPA: /tsʰ/). These are equivalent to Pinyin z and c, respectively.
[edit] Japanese
The Hepburn romanization of Japanese uses ts to represent a voiceless alveolar affricate (IPA: [ts]). In native Japanese words this sound only occurs before the vowel u, but it may occur before other vowels in loanwords. Other romanization systems write [tsu] as tu.
[edit] Tagalog
Ts in Tagalog is used to represent [tʃ].
