if a letter has a line on it does it mean its a long or short
if you are talking about a vowel (a,e,i,o or u), a line over a vowel means the vowel is a long sounding vowel.

The presence of a line on a letter does not determine whether it is long or short. The primary function of lines or markings on letters in writing systems is to indicate different sounds or to modify the pronunciation of the letter. Therefore, the purpose of a line on a letter can vary depending on the language or writing system being used.
To determine if a particular letter is long or short, you would need to consider the rules of phonetics or the specific phonetic rules of the language you are studying. In some languages, long vowels are usually represented by using double vowels (e.g., "ee" in English "bee" or "aa" in Dutch "paar"). However, this is not a universal rule in all languages.
If you are learning a specific language, it is recommended to consult language-specific resources such as pronunciation guides, dictionaries, or language learning textbooks to understand the rules regarding long and short vowels in that particular language. These resources will provide specific explanations about the pronunciation of individual letters and their associated sounds.
