In Spanish the Letter (Z) is pronounced like TH but only people from Spain use this sound not the Latin Americans Spanish Speakers. Also people from Spain pronounce S and C as TH.

Some forms of the Spanish language (depends on the country) have the TH sound instead of the S sound.
Although there's two TH sounds (the one in 'the' and the one in 'three') and some of these may not do both although I know Spanish (the one spoken in Spain, not Latin America) and Greek do have both

TH as in "the" or as in "three"?
Modern Greek has both, reprsented by a different letter (δ and θ).
And French lacks these sounds btw
