Math - is the th like that or like thistle; voiced or unvoiced, in other words?
Watching SA play Wales yesterday, I noticed that the th in Gethin Jenkins's name was being unvoiced by the commentators. How does this compare with the Welsh dd?
My Welsh ancestors had left for England in, I think, the late 18th century, but I still feel I'd like to know!

I'd say Math like thistle, or like Beth - ditto Gethin.

dd is usually more like 'that':

I have no idea how much pronunciation has changed since the 18th century, but probably not a lot :)
