The fricatives are so mixed up that you should study them together. An additional problem met in Sanskrit (Skt-Dev), but not in Bur-Myan and Pal-Myan, is due to the Sanskrit speakers (presumably belonging to the Indo-European linguistic group) being unable to differentiate the true hissing sound /ʃ/ from the bidental thibilant /θ/ realized in both Burmese (Tibeto-Burman linguistic group) and English (denoted in Romabama as {þ} = <th> - Latin small letter thorn).
