Why do people say the Spanish speakers have lisp? TH is just another sound like RR . People who lisp pronounce S like TH involuntarily, but in Spanish S is not pronounced like TH.
In my view Castilian c/z ex. zero and English th ex. faith are sightly different, I can hear a sort of s in European Spanish. Am I wrong?
Bengali.
Which "TH" sound. Bengali have like 4 different letter with different sound that English use "TH" for. These example are from American pronunciation.
TH as in word "THE" or "dah"; not DHA like in DHaka which has a different letter.
TH as in the word "Thailand" or strong T with H.
TH as in the word "thump" or soft T with H
Latin Alphabets are the worst alphabets. They are missing so many sound letters. Learn the Bengali Alphabets.

Perhaps they were optimized for Latin, and not English (or Bengali)?

I think Spanish speakers do have a sort of lisp, and in my experience Dutch speakers do the exact same thing : they prononce S like [ɕ] instead of [s].

ignorants...
they don't. those are two different sounds: s [s] and c+e/i; z [th]
it's just like in English s[s] and th [think]. they don't have a lisp problems, just like Icelandic people, Albanians etc.

Many Spaniards pronounce the second consonant in "casa" different from an English s.
But it's not [ɕ] (there's nothing palatal about it) and I wouldn't call it a lisp, either. It's an apical [s], which sounds quite different from the laminal [s] that's found in English, German, Italian, French, Latin American Spanish, etc. because it is articulated with the tip of the tongue (apical) instead of its blade (laminal).
Latin American Spanish:
casa - laminal/"English" [s]
caza - laminal/"English" [s]
Peninsular Spanish:
casa - apical [s]
caza - [θ] ("th")
