Timeline 1's Theasphere languages are mostly monosyllabic tonal languages (with the exception of Vylman). Because many languages in this area had three stop phonations and four kinds of finals (A, B, C, D as is typical of tonal languages in our timeline's Sinosphere), 9 to 12 is a typical number of tones; an endangered language in Angai Ireland is known for having 24 tones, from six phonations (prenasalized, plain x tenuis, voiced, glottalized) and four types of finals.
