Then you have Welsh where a lot of things are double affirmed in sentences removing ambiguity. even for the word yes you conjugate your reply as it depending on the quesrion they asked you.

Wyt. (Yes, you are. when asked as Am I?)

Ydw. (Yes, I am.)

Ydy. (Yes, he is.)

Ydy. (Yes, she is.)

Ydych. (Yes, you are. when asked as are We?)

Ydyn. (Yes, we are.)

Ydyn. (Yes, they are.)

How do you pronounce Ydw, Ydy and Ydych?

Oh boy, Welsh is fun. Y is sort of an UH sound, W is a OO sound and CH is A hard back of throat noise you make for the real scottish LOCH

Seems to be like "Eh-dew", "Eh-dee", "Eh-dich", so eh- or uh- for the Y at the start. Welsh IPA guide on wiktionary says Y at the start is like the a at the start of "about", when it's not either a single-syllable or in the last syllable of a word, in which case it's an "eee" sound, like the end of "happy".
