Neyt is not pronounced "nyet?" but rather, "neht?" Where is the "ye" sound go to?

My brother took Russian formally, it was his major, he went to Russia/USSR to further his studies, he speaks with mastery if not fluency. He pronounces nyet as "nyet" not "knee-yet" as you suggest many Americans do. There is a "Ye" sound in there right after the n, as in the beginning of the word "yes." So I'd have to ask: what dialect are you talking about here, or what region of Russia are you from? Where did the 'ye' sound go?

Here in America, yes comes off at times as yah, yeah, yep, yez, etc.

I suppose you are referencing a regional tone, or difference? may account for discrepancies, just as Hoch Deutsch and Platt Deutsch are a bit different.
