It looks like the given limit is


\displaystyle \lim_(x\to0) (\ln\left(√(\sin(x))\right))/(√(\tan(x)))

Note that the two-sided limit doesn't exist, since
\sqrt x is defined only for for
x\ge0. So I'll further assume you want the one-sided limit as
x approaches 0 from above.


\displaystyle \lim_(x\to0^+) (\ln\left(√(\sin(x))\right))/(√(\tan(x)))

For
x just above zero, we have


\tan(x) = (\sin(x))/(\cos(x)) = (\sin(x))/(√(1-\sin^2(x)))

so we can rewrite the limit as


\displaystyle \lim_(x\to0^+) (√(1-\sin^2(x)) \ln\left(√(\sin(x))\right))/(√(\sin(x)))

Substitute
y=√(\sin(x)). As
x\to0^+, so does
y\to0^+, and

the limit transforms to


\displaystyle \lim_(y\to0^+) \frac{√(1-y^4) \ln(y)}y


√(1-y^4) is continuous at
y=0, and
√(1-y^4)\to1, so we're left with


\displaystyle \lim_(y\to0^+) \frac{\ln(y)}y = \left(\lim_(y\to0^+) \ln(y)\right) \left(\lim_(y\to0^+) \frac1y\right) = -\infty \cdot \infty = \boxed{-\infty}
