is there different types of tonality languages?

Question

i know that like chinese, thai and vietnamese are tonal languages, but thia and vietnamese tonality sounds different than chinese tonality, is there a different types of tones in the two language?

Answer 1

Yes. For example, Mandarin Chinese has four tones and Cantonese Chinese has eight. Many West African languages like Ligbi, Bambara and Vai are what are known as "two-level tone " languages. English is tonal to some extent too but in a different way than Chinese. For example, in the phrase "Only YOU can prevent forest fires," the pronoun "you" is said in a different tone than in phrases like "How are you?" or "Do you wanna know?"

Answer 2

Yes there are a few different.

2nd tone is rising /
3rd tone is falling then rising \/
