      No, that’s just wrong. z in German is z… It has a distinct pronunciation, different ( sharper) from ts.

          That’s kinda what I mean. Looks like I misunderstood what you meant, because “ts” is its own word on German, very similar to “tsk” in English. But it is pronounced differently (softer) than z. When used as part of words, z, tz and ts can definitely all sound identical.
