Why do tonal languages sound so bad ?

>>74900399
Because it inherently takes away one of the emotional dynamics in a language. Any tonal language loses depth by default.

how do people sing in those languages?

I genuinely wonder what chinks and jungle-gooks think of non-tonal languages.

>>74900477
They just completely ignore tones.

They probably jelly.

>>74901588
IIRC old chinese didn't have tones. I wonder why they incorporated them.

and i guess it has big relation to why they talk with big voice

>>74900576
Maybe Mandarin, but not Vietnamese or Thai, you have to fit the tones into the song.

>>74900551
Cool, and sound neutral.

>>74902040
Give some examples of Vietnamese songs that use tones.

>>74902161
Every single songs, in every languages.

English songs all have tones, you just don't know which tone it is.

I cannot watch Chinese movies at all. You can tell they have emotional or powerful scenes or whatever with nice back ground music but the tones ruin it every time.

Listening to them in transit is horrible too.

>>74902220
The difference is that songs in Mandarin don't fit to the meaning, it fits to the melodies. In Vietnamese, it fits into both.

>>74902264
>In Vietnamese, it fits into both.

Give me proof.

They fit, but it is only matter if you can read Vietnamese.

>>74902863
Sounds really ugly to be honest. Thai sounds much better. Even Tagalog sounds better than Vietnamese.

Extremely easy to learn.

>>74902895
This sounds like shit probably due to the tones

>>74903054
Nope it's because that's a shit song, i was just giving you an example. Although to you it might be both. If you're interested in phonology, you will find tones very interesting, same goes to the rare types of sound, like ejectives or implosives (Vietnamese actually has two implosives).

Hey, do me a favor and tell your people to stop using tones. Thanks.

>>74903195
What do you mean? Tones are just like vowels or consonants, it takes zero effort to make, it's harder for us to speak without tones, it's like telling English speakers "stop using vowels".

>>74900576
Are you retarded? You think we dont use tones when we sing?

>>74900399
wich languages ar tonal

>>74907946
Sino-Tibetan languages and Swedish and Norwegian have some tonal presence but not enough to consider them tonal.

>>74900399
English is partly tonal, though.

>>74908597
Every language is tonal, the difference thing is that tones don't effect the meaning of the words. If you speak a tonal language, you could clearly see the tonal pattern in any language.

>>74903289
>it takes zero effort to make,
Yeah maybe if you have been using it for your whole life
