j [dʒ]

Voiced Post-alveolar Affricate

Dene Sųłiné, Cold Lake

jéth [dʒɛ́θ] "hook"  -  Speaker: SP1

This token j [dʒ] is voiceless in this word, so it is actually a voiceless unaspirated affricate. It differs from ch [tʃʰ] in the length of the frication period. In this token, the frication period is short, and the vowel begins right at the end of the fricative portion of the sound. Compare this with dz [dz].
