Description

Publisher: Mexico Branch of the Summer Institute of Linguistics Catalina, Arizona Date: 1991 Pages: 401 Language: English"A tone language may be defined as a language having lexically significant, contrastive, but relative pitch on each syllable.1 The languages of southeastern Asia (China, Burma, Indo-China, Siam) are largely tonal, as are the languages of Africa west of Ethiopia and south of the Sahara (Sudanic, Bantu, Bushman, and the Hottentot groups).2 In North America various tone languages are found in southwestern Mexico (Mixteco, Mazateco, Amuzgo, Chatino, Chinanteco, Chocho, Cuicateco, Otomi, Tlapaneco, Trique, and Zapoteco) and in the United states (Navaho, Apache, and others)."
