Very true, in most Hindi speaking states people have a hard time pronouncing Z and often pronounce it as J even quite often even in English. Same thing with SH vs S.
That said, I've personally seen this as a common occurrence among people who didn't study any other languages other than Hindi or didn't study any at all.
- OJFord 7y agoI struggle with this sort of thing a lot, as I'm learning Hindi as a native English speaker. So I suppose I should learn it as za, (sabzi is an example that comes to mind), but just understand that if I hear someone else say it it may be ja? Everyone's going to understand za, even if it's not how they personally say it right?
- owaislone 7y agoYes, pretty sure everyone will understand you perfectly irrespective of whether you say sabzi or sabji.
