How to write sh-sound?

[Kevin Behrens]

But most of the people learning Gothic know English at least at an intermediate level. I see in "sh" an international sign for [ʃ] as seen in the intuitive way of the users. "𐍃𐌷" cannot stand for anything else, but "si" or "sj" could have another reading [sj] and I think it is hard to always distinguish them intuitivly without having the distinction made in written language. 
But why does we have to make it historically rationable here? The Goths haven't had contact with English people as far as we know. The need for finding transcription ways are just of today and so we could use modern ways.

      I'm not sure how Greek would do this, but I lean towards:



SH -> SJ



CH -> QJ



KH -> X



G/DZH -> no idea



J/ZH -> no idea
