Here there is considerable disagreement between the other languages: Greek has voiceless aspirates (ph, th), Sanskrit has voiced aspirates (bh, dh), Latin has voiceless fricatives in word-initial position (f) and voiced stops in medial position (b, d), Slavic has voiced stops (b, d), and so on.
The voiced stops b and d in Sanskrit and Hindi also have aspirated forms that are usually transliterated as bh and dh.
(A stop is a consonant made with complete momentary stoppage of the breath stream some place in the vocal tract; voiced stops are those produced with the vocal cords vibrating, such as b, d, g. An aspirated sound is accompanied by a puff of breath, often written as an h, as in bh, dh, gh; an unaspirated consonant lacks this accompanying puff of breath).
The exact pronunciation of the voiced aspirates is somewhat uncertain; they were probably similar to the sounds transcribed bh, dh, and gh in Hindi.
In all Italic languages this f sound replaced the Indo-European voiced aspirated sounds (represented as bh, dh, gwh) in initial position.
