As a non-native speaker of Serbocroatian, I have had a hard time in
learning how to pronounce [d~] versus [d^z], until I came to the (correct)
conclusion that it all boils down to the same difference between ['c] and
[^c].  The first couple is merely a voiced instance of the second couple,
where [d~] differs to [d^z] in the same way as ['c] to [^c] does.

So Tu[d~]man doesn't like Kara[d^z]i['c], and "[D~]ak nosio [d^z]ak.",
the pupil carried a sack.  :-)

Although the difference is hard to tell for non-trained listeners, there is
a considerable difference when pronouncing the two, in terms of positioning
the tongue, etc.
