    I'm allergic to the word Yes. I'm more into No.

    Not really, balē is more like a confirmation, like "indeed" but can also be used as yes as far as I know.

    Latin didn't even have a word for 'yes'. They just replied with a verb.

    How does Slavic people singing Irish Gaelic songs make the Irish wannabe Slavic? There is also the Orthodox Celts. This is quite a good rendition of the Star of the County Down.

    This has been borrowed into some Assyrian dialects. My family which is from Arbela also sometimes use Bale.

    Although yes is the correct word, yeah is very commonly used. It sounds and feels lazy but languages evolve.

    Or maybe we are slowly reverting back to our Germanic roots and will one day be using ja again.
