So, according to Wikipedia:

almost all European and Asian languages lack the voiced dental fricative ("the"), but it does have a list of languages, like English, the Spanish one I mentioned, Greek, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental_fricative

And the other sound, the voiceless dental fricative, is also missing in many major languages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_dental_fricative

that answer your question?
