Allotones?
I just have an issue with the tones being listed as allophones, is this correct, wouldn't they be allotones or something? because to me an allophone is a phoneme not a toneme, but I could be wrong, comments?Ave matthew (talk) 00:28, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It's my understanding that allotone is a sometimes-used term for a kind of allophone, and toneme is a sometimes-used term for a kind of phoneme; which would make the usage here correct. --Pi zero (talk) 18:52, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Imho, the one significant outstanding issue with this section is the dependence of the sounds on regional accent. I don't seem to pronounce complexity quite as depicted; and the examples of words illustrating vowel sounds are more problematic since in my accent some of them illustrate different vowel sounds that they're used for here. A ymmv note would cover complexity, but the illustrations not illustrating is more awkward. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 07:08, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
