<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I could not find any sample of tonal languages, I am creating my own sample. The goal is to have all language genealogically distinct, and preferably areally evenly distributed as well (although I am not sure whether the areal balance
is possible.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I currently have 25 languages in my list:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Indo-European/ Eastern Panjabi [pan]</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sino-Tibetan/ Mandarin Chinese [cmn]</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goal is to have at least 50 languages. The purpose of making this list is to make a database of Leipzig-Jakarta List of tonal languages to see if certain tones appear more frequently in morphemes for a certain meaning (for example,
high tones for ‘small’, low tones for ‘big’.).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would greatly appreciate it if you could add any language from a different language family (or language isolate) to the list. Any comments on the list itself is welcome too.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am wondering if there are any studies that used a sizeable sample of tonal languages, areally and genealogically controlled.<u></u><u></u></p>
