query: checked/entering tone

[Thurgood, Graham]

Kristine,

Additional note: entering tone is only used to name a particular tone in Chinese; checked is a more general designation that can be applied to other languages.

Dear colleagues,

In the process of compiling some tone and tone-related entries for a forthcoming dictionary, I was asked whether the 'checked/entering tone' which is frequently discussed with respect to Chinese dialects is a concept invoked for other languages (possibly other Sino-Tibetan, but even more, for other languages outside of the family altogether). My basic journal/literature/even Google searches have not been very fruitful. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you,
