query: checked/entering tone

[Kristine Hildebrandt]

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,
