We study the regularity of solution and of sonic boundary to a degenerate Goursat problem originated from the two-dimensional Riemann problem of the compressible isothermal Euler equations. By using the ideas of characteristic decomposition and the bootstrap method, we show that the solution is uniformly ${C^{1,\frac{1}{6}}}$ up to the degenerate sonic boundary and that the sonic curve is ${C^{1,\frac{1}{6}}}$.

Keywords: Compressible Euler equations, semi-hyperbolic patch, degenerate Goursat problem, sonic curve, characteristic decomposition.
