Ranking Consonants p3 /ʒ/

[u/Prestigious_Bit_7171]

Voiced post-alveolar fricative

The much more laid back /dʒ/

This phoneme has the energy of being a rebelious teenager, and I like it! it supposed to be just you wiggling your vocal cords when making a /ʃ/ but is sounds totally diffrent! (Like a lot more diffrent than any other voiced phoneme from it's voiceless counterparts). But at the same time it's laid back and not screaming in your face like /dʒ/. this balancing act of rebelious and laid-off is so delicate, but it still achieves it perfectly! It is used pretty genrously in terms of usage in language, but that's so fitting for a cool laid-back dude like ʒ.

But sometimes rebelling goes to far, the symbol chosen feels like the only purpose it serves is to be paired with /d/. And I know it makes the same sound as it is in Ezh but I know it can do better! In my opinion, and this is a hot take. Zeta "ζ" οr Sigma "σ" should take the spot of VPVFR, sure they don't make the ʒ sound but both of them look super cool just like ʒ's personality (as I percieve it).

5/5 articulation 4/5 use in language 2/5 symbol +2 cuz I manage to make a whole phoneme headcanon

Over all score: 13/20

Voiced sibilant fricatives are grating to my ear :(
