>Languages without tones that stole their written form from one that did

I speak one

When you speak slow and clear tonal languages are beautiful and melodic

But when you try to speak fast it sounds like chicken talk

Are tonal languages capable of producing a spelling alphabet?

哇。 晚上好。

Albanian is a tonal language and it pretty much has every letter other languages use in its alphabet, it really helps you out when you want to learn another language.

>languages that use the Roman alphabet instead of an original one

>>67538444
Definitely not like Chinese, a lot of the words take different meanings based on how you say them, Serbo-Croatian is also tonal.

学习。你呢?

It would've been kool if we still used runes, a shame they were replased with latin letters even though it was a part of getting writing, but if they were more aware of their old kulture maybe they'd've tried to keep their old letters instead just to be unique.

And now try a fast spoken convo.

>languages where word pronunciation isn't exactly like the letter pronunciation in the alphabet

haha those cant possibly exist can they? Like, imagine if the word "apple" read like "eipl" instead of "ei pi pi el ee", sounds fucking retarded doesn't it haha who would even make such arbitrary rules for their language haha

>>67538522
that's not what tonal is

you mean stressing a different syllable changes the word

Chinese has 4 different ways you can pronounce every single syllable.

I agree. Imo Latin alphabet should just be for romance languages

Isn't accent marks just a sign that you have no alphabet of your own so you had to take someone elses that wasn't made for your language so you have to add the accent marks to make up for the flaws

>>67537166
yet ironically the written language of the tonal language did not indicate tone...


...and in the case of Chinese, the original form of the written language was made at a time when Chinese did not have tone yet.
