North Slavey, Deline  -  Phoneme: zh [ʒ]  -  IPA: Voiced post-alveolar fricative.

Word: zhah [ʒɑh] "snow"  -  Speaker: SP5

A fully voiced post-alveolar fricative. Full voicing, as we see here, in an obstruent is not common. But this fricative is an obstruent and it is fully voiced, as we can see in the waveform and spectrogram.
