Mostly South Asian words.
bhaji
bhang
Bhoodan
Bhopal
Bhutan
Bhutto
what is the function of the “bh” in all these words? is there a pronunciation difference between “butan” and “bhutan”?
Not in my accent, but perhaps “bh” and “b” are pronounced differently in Dzongkha and the other (I think) mainly South Asian source languages.
