The th pronunciation is Spanish.
In Catalan c before e or i is pronounced like a hard s.

NewSocialWhoDis@lemmy.zip 1 day agoThe weird ‘th’ handling of ‘c’ isn’t just a Catalan thing? Is that all of Spain? I know I’m biased as a North American, but preference for Mexican Spanish.

It’s the Spaniard pronunciation. Virtually everyone else would pronounce it as “see”.

I have no idea about ‘c’ becoming ‘th’. I was referring to the ‘t’ at the end that the above comment made ‘the’ when breaking it down, which they have mentioned in a reply was an auto-correct error.
The Spanish I know is not generally NA influenced.

Ah, I guess they had fixed the autocorrect by the time I saw it.
Apparently it is most, but not quite all, of of Spain that does the ‘th’ business: youtube.com/shorts/dxBoVaOuw4Q?is=uFdY_uC6q6AjdcD…

that is why the Barthelona thing is so pedantic. In Catalan is pronounced more like “barsalona”
