The pointy hat song

À niolinner à matîn dans eune clâsse, nou compôsit eune arrînmée pouor pratitchi les longues et courtes vouaiyelles:
A quick bit of nonsense put together this morning to help practise differentiating long and short vowels in Jèrriais in a fun way (a circumflex accent, aka a "pointy hat", marks a long vowel):

The pointy hat song

a is short and â is long:

â a â a makes our song!

è is open more than é.

Let's all sing è é è é!

é is short - not long like ê.

Sing é ê é ê all day!

i is short, but here's long î.

Sing i î i î with me!

o is short, but is ô? No!

Give o ô o ô a go!

Look! This ou is short and should

be sung ou ou ou. That's good!

Here's another long sound: oû.

We can sing ou oû ou too!

Here's another pair for you:

û u û u û u û

Now to end our p'tit niolîn:

houîn... chein... chîn... mains... mîns... fain... fîn!
