          <div dir="ltr">Dear Mr. Cahill,<br>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>Regarding your question about non-African languages
              that mark the singular/plural distinction solely by means
              of tone, perhaps the following data can be useful to you: </div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>One dialect of Basque, that spoken in the town of
              Goizueta (High Navarre, in northern Spain), which belongs
              to the dialect group of High Navarrese but is very
              distinct (due mostly to its use of tone, which is an
              archaic feature inherited from older Basque), is notorious
              for marking the singular/plural distinction solely by
              means of contour tone in some classes of nouns. I myself
              am a native speaker of Standard Basque (which has no tone
              distinctions) and have friends who speak the Goizueta
              dialect, and I'm completely unable to tell the difference
              between singular and plural (unless I infer from context
              and verb agreement) when I speak with them and they use
              their dialect. </div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>Unfortunately, hardly any literature in English exists
              on this topic, but there are some things in Basque. I have
              taken the following examples from Hualde & Lujanbio
              (2008: 379, which I attach) i.e. the paradigms for gizon
              ''man'' and mendi ''mountain'' (where ´ = rising tone, ` =
              falling tone):</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>         gizon ''man''                     mendi
              ''mountain''</div>

                        <p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
                        <p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
                        <p class="MsoNormal">Starting with some research
                          on marking tone in African orthographies, I’ve
                          come across 37 languages that mark the
                          singular and plural distinction of at least
                          some of their nouns solely by tone.
                          Interestingly, in about 2/3 of these so far,
                          the plural has some sort of higher tone than
                          the singular. </p>
                        <p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
                        <p class="MsoNormal">I’m looking for other
                          examples of the same thing, particularly
                          non-African. Wayne Leman sent me some Cheyenne
                          examples. In Cheyenne, there seems no
                          consistent pattern of either raising or
                          lowering the tone of the plural – it’s all
                          over the place. </p>
                        <p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
                        <p class="MsoNormal">I’m hoping some of you know
                          of other languages that do this kind of thing.
                          Of course, I’m not averse to hearing about
                          African languages – it may be quite possible
                          you know of a language I don’t have on my list
                          yet. Please copy me directly (<a
