    It's that way because at one point it was pronounced as "syu-gar" but over the years shifted to "shu-gar". This is because the two sounds are in proximity to each other. As a result, the sound changed but the spelling remained the same.

    Nor does it in French and Turkish! In German it has a "z". And, of course, to be "sure" of the matter , look at "sure"!

    There are very many anomalies in the English language. "Sugar" is just one of them.
