    Hmm, it is similar to a J, and may become the same depending on the speaker, but not necessarily exactly the same

      According to the international phonetic alphabet they’re the same sound.

      Here is the IPA for drink: dɹɪŋk

      Here is the IPA for jury: d͡ʒʊɹi

      Mainly it’s noticeable for spanish speakers because the spanish D is pronounced closer to the english th or is unvoiced depending on where it is in a word.

        I think I may have always mispronounced one or both of these then.

        Man, English pronunciation, I swear.
