3.2.2: ‘ph’
This is the letter ‘phe’ ( Devanagri: फ | IPA: /pʰ:/ | Pronunciation: )
It is written by joining the letters ‘pe’ and ‘do chashmii he’
This creates the sound of ‘ph’ (फ) as in the Hindi words - फूल, फि र etc.
3.2.3: ‘th’
This is the letter ‘th’ ( Devanagri: थ | IPA: /t̪ʰ/ | Pronunciation: )
It is written by joining the letters 'te’ and ‘do chashmii he’
This creates the sound of ‘th’ (थ) as in the Hindi words - थकना, थाल, साथ etc.
3.2.4: ‘Th’
This is the letter ‘Th’ ( Devanagri: ठ | IPA: /ʈhe:/ | Pronunciation: )
