serious issues with this article This article has almost too many issues to fix Confuses tone with pitch accent throughout Probably because of this misidentifies a number of languages as tonal which are not Scottish Gaelic Lithuanian others which have been discussed Lacks citations quite egregious in a scientific article Editorializes excessively However the undermarking of tonality is just part of the inadequacy of all spelling systems The tones of Lithuanian are believed to be especially authentic etc Makes unencyclopedic claims like the rather pedagogical section Pronouncing tonality Much of what is found in this article actually belongs in Tone linguistics but much of what one would expect to find in an article entitled Tonal language such as a list of Tonal language or a broad discussion of the synchronic and diachronic categories of tonal languages is absent or given short shrift I ll try to fix a lot of these but don t have time now
