In fact I would say that the romanisation is virtually always "tch..."; I have never seen the composer's name spelt Chaikovsky in any English language publication. Sbishop (talk) 08:21, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The combination tch- in initial position is unknown in English and very rare in other languages. The composer's name was long spelt in the German way, as Tschaikowsky. Then, someone decided we anglophones could do without teutonic influences, and changed the w to v, and the Tsch to Tch. But why not plain Ch? I can only assume it was to distinguish it from the /x/ sound, usually spelt as ch (as in loch, l'chaim, etc). But it solved a non-existent problem; nobody ever said "Khaikovsky". Whatever, "Tchaikovsky" is here to stay. We also have Tcherepnin et a few al. But not Tchekhov, at least not anymore. -- Jack of Oz[pleasantries]01:00, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
