Recently I came across a printed article from mortality statistics produced in London in the last 16th century.
The title reads: "The diseases and casualties this week."
In modern phonetics, ʃ represents the "sh" sound in words like "polish, ocean, issue".
Although modern "casualties" would use ʒ to represent the first "s" sound, like in words (beige, vision, azure) I can see how it is quite close to ʃ, but the modern pronunciation of "diseases" would use z sounds.
In this article, do the uses of ʃ represent that in that time period words with modern day z, ʃ and ʒ would all be pronounced as ʃ? For example:
- Diseases would be prounced as : Di-sh-ee-sh-is
- Casualties would be pronounced as : Cash-ul-tiz
