===Accent=== | |||
The Silōs language has no phonemic stress accent, pitch accent, nor lexical tone, rendering the basis of the distinction of words solely on the phonemes which compose them. As such, the Silōs language parses its polysyllabic words as if each syllable were a separate word. Many speakers, however, use an allophonic stress accent when not using careful speech. | |||
===Prosody=== | |||
Interrogative sentences in the Silōs language use specific prosodic patterns, as most languages do. The binary question marker preverb ''{{term|zi}}'' takes a low pitch with all other syllables at a normal pitch in sentences using it. The passive/complex question marker preverb ''{{term|ius}}'' causes a constant rising pitch in sentences using it. | |||
