Timeline 1's Theasphere languages are mostly monosyllabic tonal languages, with the exception of Vylman. Because many languages in this area historically had three stop phonations and four types of codas (A, B, C, D as is typical of tonal languages in our timeline's Sinosphere), 9 (as in European Neo-Thean) to 12 (as in Qua) 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. On the other hand, Danishmandi only has 4 tones.
