0 I pronounce Jim as [ dZIm ]. I don't know of any dialect that uses [ z ] for /dZ/. 0-

0 The Jim in CalifJim is pronounced the same as Jim is pronounced separately: /dZIm/ to rhyme with 01i00him02i00 or 01i00dim02i00 or 01i00Kim02i00 or 01i00slim02i00. The normal pronunciation of "j" is /dZ/ in English. The "j" in "Jim" is the same sound - nothing irregular about it.02br
