Looks like it was a combo of both, reading about it further. https://www.rd.com/article/americans-british-pronounce-zee/
Regional dialects at first, but then the dictionary declared it the official pronunciation and shortly after the song was produced, which would have spread the use from being regional and encouraged homogenization

Americans used to pronounce Z the same as the rest of the world until someone wrote the ABC song and decided it needed to rhyme with V, and then an entire generation grew up saying it wrong and it stuck. At least that is what I’ve heard in Canada.
It’s also why there is a Canadian version of Sesame street where the last verse doesnt rhyme because up until the late 90s our TV censors used to straight up nope things that would cause kids to be confused about how things should be pronounced.

Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•My world is so much better because of immigrantsEnglish7·7 天前Pan fried shawarma is something Im still trying to get used to.

It wasnt until I moved out west that I ever saw Shawarma done any other way, and everything out here has been disappointing by comparison.

Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services taxEnglish3·17 天前Canadians pay it and are hopefully turned to other options, smaller companies, and hopefully Canadian ones. That would drive Amazon’s business down, and that hurts the billionaires more than the tax.
