Since we're dealing with English transliteration it's hard to determine the sound one will actually make while pronouncing the words. Nam and naam can sound exactly the same depending on who says it. There's no exact science to transliteration, it's basically phonetics. My point is....naam or nam could sound like yes and it's standard Arabic therefore, ppl who speak "Jordanian" Arabic should know this.

Did I catch a "My God is Jordan" in there?

Oh and nam means "yes" in standard Arabic. Nawm is the word for "sleep".

Naam means yes in standard Arabic. Nam means sleep (like if you're asking someone to sleep or ordering them to sleep). Nawm means sleep (the noun).

My mother language is Arabic. I do understand and can speak most of Arabic dialects. But I really do find much difficulty in understanding the Moroccan dialect, it's too fast and too hard to understand. Egyptian, Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian, and Jordanian are the easiest lol..
