How do I pronounce 6th?
Why do British people mispronounce sixth?
It is the way they pronounce certain vowels. If it were a lisp, it would be a speech impediment and they would never be able to pronounce the sound ”’ssss”’ but they can.
Why can’t I say sixth?
It’s just not common to put a sibilant (s) between a stop (k) and a fricative (th). In general, this means that this cluster, and therefore the word “sixth“, is an above average difficult word to pronounce. So, the word “Sixth” really is not a difficult word for native speakers.
