Ahh you caught one of my typos. In Standard Montreiano d is always /D/.
But more rural dialects do pronounce it /d/. So, /D/ and /d/ are both
found.

Also...

b and v are also pronounced /b/ and in some dialects if ranges more to /v/
(Americans tend to still say v as /v/ and b as /b/ (something I do with
Spanish, though i've tried to kick that habit :) ), but in standard
Montreiano, /B/ is the "proper" pronunciation.
