	ArtLex's Pronunciation Guide
		The digraph "gh" is the aspirated g+h of "bughouse" or "ragheap" (rare in English).
		The digraph "th" is either the sound of "th" in "thick," or the sound of "th" in "than"
		The digraph "hw" is the sound of "wh" in "where", rather than the 'w' sound in 'ware'.

	digraph th
		A digraph is a pair of letters that represent a single speech sound.
		When introducing a digraph to your child you say the name of the letters, followed by the sound.
		The ‘th’ sound in the words on the left is a soft ‘th’ sound.

		On this fun activity, the letters "th" are placed many times over a full size image of the association character - "Thunder Thumb." The student is given the worksheet and asked to color the letters "th." But hold on a second - this is not as easy as it sounds.
		By associating the "th" sound with someone as unusual as Thunder Thumb (How many Thunder Thumbs have you seen this past week?) the child will be far more likely to remember the sound.
		"Th" is a little tricky in that it has a voiced sound (as in "this" and "they") and a non-voiced sound (as in "with" and "bath").

	Phonemic Awareness and Phonics Lesson Plan 50 - Consonant Digraph Th
		There are a few instances in which the th digraph is pronounced differently, as in Thailand and thyme, but exceptions are few and far between.
		There are extremely rare exceptions in which another group of letters is used to represent the /th/ sound.
		Note: There is a subtle difference between the pronunciation of the voiced th in there and the voiceless th in thing.

	The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe: A Digraph Lesson (th, ch, wh, sh)
		The teacher writes the digraphs "th," "wh," "sh", and "ch" on the board in column form.
		For example: The word "there" has digraph "th" in the beginning and the word "broth" has digraph "th" in the ending of word.
		Now instruct the students to think of as many words as they can with the digraphs that were talked about and written on the board.

	\| Stuck with a thorn \| Typophile
		I've always found it curious that with the frequency that the "th" combination occurs, and how common compound "th" characters are in other alphabets, that it isn't a part of our Roman character set.
		This, despite the fact that for many centuries a compound "th" character was popular within the Latin abbreviatory system; and, of course, utilized within the English alphabetic system practically up till the 19th-century.
		Merely a new single character condensing the "th." I agree, English is too much of a mongrel language to start niggling such phonimic details (lest we end up with 40 more characters in our alphabet).

	Cryptology \| Advanced Mono Subs: How to Use the Playfair System
		This is done by the splitting the plaintext into groups of two letters, otherwise known as digraphs (the Playfair system was the first to use digraphs).
		'n' was put first in the ciphertext digraph not because it was higher -- but because it was the letter on the row of the first letter in the plaintext digraph.
		Luckily, common digraphs tables are much more difficult to interpret than common letter tables since the most common digraph (th) is abundant only 3.25%, and the most common character (e) is 12%.

		Using digraphs digraphs-use There are two methods to enter digraphs: *i_digraph* CTRL-K {char1} {char2} or {char1} {char2} The first is always available; the second only when the 'digraph' option is set.

		Sometimes two letters can join together to make one sound, these are called digraphs.
		The digraph /th/ can be hard for students to understand because of the two letters, "t" and "h" forming only one sound, /th/.
		They are to match the pictures on the left side that contain the /th/ sound to their spellings on the right side.

		A vowel digraph is two letters with the first letter making a long sound and the second letter is silent.
		These are different from a digraph because you cannot hear any of the letters' normal sounds.
		We call the "g," "k," and "w" in the digraphs gn, kn, and wr ghost letters to help us remember they used to make a sound but now are silent.

	Unicode 4.1.0
		It is to be distinguished from merely a Gaelic style glyph for U+0067 LATIN SMALL LETTER G. WITH STRIKETHROUGH is a digraphic notation commonly found in some English-language dictionaries, representing the voiceless (inter)dental fricative, as in thin.
		While this character is clearly a digraph, the obligatory strikethrough across two letters distinguishes it from a "th" digraph per se, and there is no mechanism involving combining marks which can easily be used to represent it.
		A common alternative glyphic form for U+1D7A uses a horizontal bar to strike through the two letters, instead of a diagonal stroke.

	Tokana Phonology
		With the exception of three digraphs (lh, th, and ts), each sound is represented by a single letter, and each letter represents a single sound.
		The digraph th represents a laminodental stop, produced at roughly the same point of articulation as English th.
		It is quite similar to the lateral fricative of Welsh, Zulu, and other languages, except that it is produced with the body of the tongue instead of the blade or tip of the tongue (the point of articulation for lh is actually quite close to that of English sh).

	WHAT IS PHONOLOGY
		The pair of letters th rarely is used to represent the sequence of sounds represented individually by t and by h (though sometimes it does, as in the word cathouse); it usually is used to represent one of two sounds.
		[th] and [dh] are quite different sounds, even though they are both represented in our writing system by "th".
		Thy and thigh differ (despite what the spelling seems to suggest) solely in the voicing of the first sound: thy begins with [dh], while thigh begins with [th], and similarly, either and ether differ not in their vowels (as the orthography, again deceiving us, seems to suggest) but in their middle consonant.

		Both th and dh are interdental sounds (with the tip of the tongue held between the front teeth, the difference between the two is that th is unvoiced, while the vocal chords do function for the pronunciation of the dh.

	Ancient Scripts: Futhark
		This means that f, u, th, a, r, k, g, and w belong to the first ætt; h, n, i, j, æ;, p, z, and s belong to the second; and t, b, e, m, l, ng, d, and o belong to the third.
		Also, a rune has a position within each ætt, so for example, k would be the 6th rune in the 1st ætt, and t would be the 1st rune in the 3rd ætt.
		As many old letters were removed from the alphabet, several of the remaining letters were overloaded to represent multiple sounds: th was used for /þ/ and /ð/; u for /u/ and /o/; k for /k/, /g/, and /ng/; i for /i/ and /e/; t for /t/ and /d/; and b for /b/ and /p/.

		Using this translation, we shall prove a combinatorial result which implies a nearly optimal upper bound on the order of uniprimitive (primitive but not doubly transitive) permutation groups.

		Medieval English thus contained a variety of signs for the sound 'th' - the digraph 'TH', the thorn, and the eth (or thok).
		Scribes ended up using a mixture of these, although some tried to make a distinction between those used for a voiced 'th' sound and the signs used for a voiceless 'th'.
		As a result, reading medieval texts today can be enormously confusing.
