West Flemish is very different from standard Dutch in pronunciation as well as vocabulary and grammar, to the extent that it's quite unintelligible to Dutch speakers unaccustomed to the dialect. A simple phrase like "Ik ben gisteren nog bij hen geweest" (I was at their place only yesterday) will be pronounced as " 'k zyn histern no(c)h toet ulders (h)ewist".
A classic example is its unique conjugation of yes (ja) and no (nee): - jaok (ja ik = "Yes, I do", "Yes, I have", "Yes, I am", etc. in English)
- jaog (ja gij = Yes, you do"... - singular)
- jaoj / jaos / jaot (ja hij/zij/het = "Yes, he/she/it does"...)
- jaow (ja wij = "Yes, we do"...)
- jaog (ja gij = "Yes, you do"... - plural)
- jaos (ja zij = "Yes, they do"...)
