Af Mexee has a pitch accent (I think). The tone-bearing unit is the mora. There are two tones: low and high. These are not normally indicated in writing, although this article mostly does. A high tone is indicated with an acute accent, while a circumflex denotes a vowel that has a high tone unless the following word has an high tone. | Af Mexee has a pitch accent (I think).
