What is the pronunciation difference between ち and ぢ


While several people have asked about the pronunciation difference between じ
and ぢ(there is none), the difference between ち and ぢ has not been talked about
much. Yet, they seem the same to me, even though their Romaji is different.
The pronunciation of ち is like the English letter 'j' (as in judge) and so is
the pronunciation for ぢ.

I am confused about the pronunciation difference between 'chi' and 'ji'.




The pronounciation of ち is not like "g", but rather it is similar to the "chi"
in "chicken", like the romaji notation suggests. The difference is that it is
voiceless (and always pronounced as an affricate). The dakuten ゛ turns
voiceless consonants into voiced consonants.
