How does tone work in your language?
Post Body
Edit: This applies to non-tonal languages as well.
Tone can often make the difference between sounding like a native speaker and, well, not. Here is an example of its use in various Japanese dialects. Have you thought about how your speakers use it for various things?
I've only spelled out enough to make word boundaries clear:
- Pitch drops between moras (like syllables but with consistent duration) within a single word.
- Otherwise, it does something else.
Most of my words are one mora long, so this shouldn't sound too weird.
