This document discusses the proper pronunciation of certain letters in the Urdu alphabet. It notes that the letters ژ, چ, and ش sound similar to zh, ch, and sh in English but are produced differently. For ژ, چ, and ش the tip of the tongue should touch the roof of the mouth, while for ج, ق, and خ the tip of the tongue should be behind the lower teeth. Mastering these distinctions is important for pronouncing Urdu letters correctly.

These sounds are rather confusing, because they sound distinctly like
zh, ch, sh. This, however, is NOT the case. For sh, ch, and sh, the tip of
the tongue should be on the roof of the mouth, and for j, q and x, the
tip of the tongue should be behind the lower teeth.
