Is there a difference between e and ć in Latvian? Instead of e maybe ć would be better. Anyway, it\'s the name of a town.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Csaba Ban: transcribe "sz" with an "s", and the last "s" with an "s plus hacek" (as in Siaulai in Lithuania). All other letters are pronounced as they are written.
