Pronouns in Bodo

I = Ang ('a' as in father)
You = nwng ( 'w' is pronounced as 'ea' in earth)
We = Jwng
He, she = biyw ( 'w' again as 'ea' in earth)

Suffix 'swr' is used to make certain pronouns plural.
Nwngswr = you (plural)
Biswr= they

Note for pronounciation of vowels:
Bodo has only six vowels (with no distinction between long and short vowels). They are:--

A = 'a' as in father
E = 'e' as in bet
I = 'i' as in bit or 'ee' as in beet
O = 'a' as in ball
U='u' as in put
W= 'ea' as in earth
