A question of tone

Many languages in the world have a distinction between “tones”. So if something is said witha high-pitch, it means something different from if it is said at a mid-pitch or low-pitch. Youdon’t have to have perfect-pitch to hear it as everyone starts talking at different pitches! It ishow much it goes up and down that matters.The tones are normally shown with accents. But the example here is also shown with musicalnotes as that might make it clearer.Consider the words shown above. These come from Mende (a language spoken in Sierra Leone). How many different “notes” are there?
