I understand this perfectly, but it needs proper punctuation to communicate the cadence and attitude:
No, Yeah!
Yeah … No.
Yeah, No - For Sure!
No. Yeah, No.
Yeah, No, Yeah.
Note: Northern European populations in upper midwest use Yah. Often repeatedly.
And No is pronounced with 1 1/3 syllables, Noa as in boat said slowly.

Or through way in there too, sounds a lot like how we talk also.
No way! Yeah. =yes
Yeah, no way= no
Yeah… no way, for sure! =definitely
No way? Yeah. no way. = you’re fine
Yeah, no yeah? = I’m sorry but the answer is yes
In South Dakota, it’s Oh-Yah.
(Fortunately, my wife left SD in her early 20’s and she now talks like a West-coaster but retained the easy-going Mid-west disposition. )

@macromeh My SO grew up in SD and MN, so he is fluent in all of that. I mentioned the Minnesotan Siri vide (below) to him and got a grin.
And then there’s Minnesotan, with its “ope”.
/shorts?v=
I didn’t watch the whole thing, so I didn’t find out if he actually covered “ope”, but I know there’s a language vid around somewhere that does.
This one uses it, but doesn’t expound on the depth of its communicative versatility:

Here ya go:

And explicitly:

“drive your sorry ass back to Illinois”
“I watched you burn cranberries once”
