Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there an equivalent of pitch accent in European languages including English?
2·9 days agoRipuarian franconian (i.e. west german around Cologne) does in fact have tones. I do sort of notice them, but i couldn’t name you an example of tonally differentiable homophones.
Sadly the only sources i could find are in german, but you can use google translate on them:
