, The "th" sound as in "the" is usually not pronounced as the "th" sound normally is in the English language, usually as a "d" (e.g. de=the mudder=mother) The sentence "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" would be pronounced something like "de kwik brr-ah-n fox jumped ova de layzee dog." "They" is quite often pronounced as "thee" or "dee" "The" can sometimes be pronounced at "thee" or "dee"
