Subject: Eh
My father-in-law, who is orginally from Zeeland, Netherlands, told me once
that some Zeelanders, instead of ja, say Eh in the affirmative. This would
make sense on the end of a sentence. Being that Afrikaans has such a strong
link to Dutch (my wife calls it Boer dutch) maybe this is a link?
