Re: [lojban-beginners] "th" sounds in Lojban



Continuing what {latros} said, your question is similar to asking, "How would you write the 'th' in Russian?"

They're not morphologically permitted, because so few languages have them. If you want to make them, you're going to have to do it inside ZOI.

Hey, I was wondering how someone would write the "th" sounds of "then"
and "thin" (respectively) in Lojbanic orthography without substituting
the ' (h sound).

I wish someone had taken into account that "th" sounds are very
beautiful.

Personally, my orthography would have used "x" for the "th" sound in
"thin" and "dx" for the "th" sound in "then".  I would have then used
"h" for the guttural sound that "x" is now used for.

I don't know why, but the two "th" sounds are probably my favorite
sounds that the human mouth can produce.
