Possible reason: loudness (whatever the technical term for it is) is used as the accent, to make words easier to understand and process in English. An unvoiced consonant provides a signal that the next sounds are a new word. Lengthening a vowel shows that the next sounds after a voiced consonant is a new word. (I am an 'American English' speaker, so fewer long vowels in general.) Consider 'posh', a hypothetical 'poʒ'(voiced 'sh'), and 'Tazmania'. 23.121.191.18 ( talk) 06:32, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
