Welcome to the forum, squee100.

The letters are transliterated as beyz, veyz, pey, and fey in Galvin and Tamarkin's The Yiddish Dictionary Sourcebook: A Transliterated Guide to the Yiddish Language (Ktav Publishing House, 1986).  While the authors of this work have chosen not to stick exclusively to the YIVO Institute's standardization of Yiddish, they also don't specifically differentiate between various European dialects.  So, I don't know how helpful this will be for you.
