Time to reveal my secret source (I had to look hard !), in the FAZ (2nd of
March, I think) a certain Renate Kosterlitz writing from Zwingenberg says :
"Unter »allen lebenden nichtslawischen Sprachen Europas« gibt es außer dem
Hessischen sehr wohl noch -- mindestens -- eine, die den
vertrackten »schtsch«-Laut kennt, nähmlich das Rätoromanische. Dort wird der
Laut »s-ch« gerschrieben."
I therefore conclude from what you wrote before that sch is pronounced "sh"
and, if this reader of the FAZ is to be believed, s-ch is pronounced "shtsh"
(may be only in this variety of Romanche).
More polysemy for the dash...
