HelpRe: How do you pronounce "Tr" and "Dr"? Adrian, Tristan, Patricia, etc?
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
I don’t perceive a J or Ch sound in Dr- or Tr-.
I do have a son John. My younger kids have pronounced his name more like Dzhon (almost like Dijon, but more abrupt). So rather the opposite where a j sound was perceived to have a D in it.
We do use Orton Gillingham reading instruction so the emphasis on phonemic awareness has created pretty strong delineations for them now.
I am 32 and with major language influences from North Carolina and various regions of Upstate New York.

I’m almost 19, and I was born and raised in South Carolina; I also don’t pronounce “Tr” or “Dr” with a J or “Ch”.
