I'm amazed. In my ignorance I hadn't realized that there was any

dialect of English where we actually had minimal pairs distinguished by

the voiced/voiceless interdental fricatives. I have a request for any

speakers out there who do distinguish pin-pen: please post any

minimal pairs you have noted in your variety of English that

show that voiced/voiceless interdental fricative distinction. I have

failed to come up with any for my own pin/pen distinguishing dialect.



All the best, Don.
