feeling proud of the Indic-inspired system i’ve been using to transcribe Persian these days:
/iː i uː u/ ī i ū u
/eː oː/ e o
/aː a/ ā a
/ai au/ ai au (⟨ay av⟩ before vowels)
i was putting macrons over ⟨e o⟩ but i think they’re only really useful to remind the reader that this isn’t Iranian
![Conjugation of yes and no
Another feature of West Flemish is the conjugation of ja and nee ("yes" and "no") to the subject of the sentence. That is somewhat related to the double subject, but even when the rest of the sentence is not pronounced, ja and nee are generally used with the first part of the double subject.
This conjugation can be negated with the extra word, toet ([tut]), or strengthened by adding mo- or ba- (or both).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ascovhldf3rfzth6wnz65iuh/bafkreiexwj7zfumevs6tnwggye256g3ahh47cr74qaqnn7hpcmziwpdaau)
