3. "Dj" (as in the English loan-word from Arabic, "djinn").
I would characterise the Argentinian pronounciation as "zh" rather than "sh".

Hi:
Sh for me is more phonetically accurate to appeal to the English mind...
The minute you look at a word like that, your mind does not have problems in trying to cope with pronunciation, instead of weird Universal/international phonetic symbology.
