Probably not. It could probably be done quite easily with a computer and a searchable dictionary, but there may not be much point as there are so many words that contain 'th' that there doesn't seem to be any advantage in knowing them all!

The 'th' in English words is pronounced in different ways according to the word.

  1. unvoiced and aspirated, as in 'Thursday' (touch tongue to back of top teeth and blow slightly). It is described as a voiceless dental fricative, International Phonetic Symbol (IPS): θ
  2. voiced, as in 'this' (it has a buzzing sound. Hum slightly, with tongue placed as above). Known as a voiced dental fricative, IPS: ð

Speaking exercise: Father and Mother are thumbing a lift to the theatre in Thurrock this Thursday. They like to go hither and thither and thought it seemed a thoroughly good idea, being the thespians that they are.

HOWEVER! ....

It can be particularly useful to have such lists, for example, in the field of Speech Language Pathology. Here are some examples of voiced and voiceless "th" in

  1. initial (beginning of the word),
  2. medial (middle of the word), and
  3. final (end of the word) positions:
