Tone Master Tool

This Tone Master tool allows you to model tones from any tonal language, view their contours, map your mouth and throat to the tones, and develop recognition and muscle memory with tones through colour, texture, voice/throat movements, and association with key words.

  • Add Tones using Chao Tone Stick values, e.g., 1˩ 2˨ 3˧ 4˦ 5˥ - 23˨˧ 325˧˨˥.
  • Broken tones like Vietnamese ngã use ' - e.g., 32'45.
  • You can extend tones at a level by duplicating the number - 552.
