Reply to: how to pronounce ... by Cinderella
The two th sounds in English are pretty uncommon - Greek and Swahili, I think, also have them. When I hear Indian people talking, the sounds spelled with a th or a dh don't sound like the English ones - more like a voiceless t with the tongue curled back (can't recall the technical term for that!). Am I right, or do I listen to the wrong Indians? (Mostly cricket commentators, I must admit!)
