| H | h | This letter has no actual pronunciation
in Vènet, and it is only used for diagraphs such as:
|
| DH | dh | [ similar to th in English the ] dhà£o (yellow) dhermàn (german) dhó (down) dhandhìvi (gums) Dhòrdhi (George) NOTE: This sound used to be present
in the whole Vènet territory, but it has slowly being disappearing.
The diagraph DH was present in Vènet written texts
since the twelve hundreds, and it is still being pronounced in numerous
dialects (especially in alpine and foothills areas). In other areas
it has been often substituted by the X ( lèdhare = lèdhare (to read), and mèdho = mèxo (between)),
and sometimes by the letter D (frédha = frédha (cold)).
|
| FH | fh | [ between Greek phi and German ph, somehow aspirated as h in Spanish humera ] fhabiòko (stupid) fhalìva (snow flake) fhémena (wife) fhià (a little) fhìnfarli (type of mushroom) fhòdha (trend) fhòya (leaf) fhóra (out) fhorèsto (stranger, from the outside) fhormàyo (cheese) fhursi (maybe) NOTE: As with DH, this pronunciation is slowly being replaced by the letter F. It is still present in many Vènet dialects, and it is reported here because it alternates with the regular F, and therefore needs to be distinguished for this cases.
|
| NH | nh | [ as ñ in Spanish mañana ]
|
| TH | th | [ similar
to th in English thin ] thanka (left) NOTE: As with DH, this sound used to be widely used in Vèneto (as documented in some historical documents) but it is now present only in some Vènet dialects. In the rest of the territory it is predominantly substituted by the letter S. See Vèneto Arkìvio for another graphical representation.

| ZH | zh | This diagraph is pronounced in between
the TH and the Ç.
