Flewtish is a | Flewtish is a tonal language and the first syllable of each word acquires a specific tone. There are three tones: | ||
# The mild tone (Tonek mildek) indicates that the pitch will rise in the first syllable and drop in the rest gradually. | |||
# The rising tone means the pitch will rise as the word is pronounced | |||
# The falling tone is the opposite of the rising one. Often however, it does not result in a falling pitch, but rather a longer vowel with the same pitch everywhere. | |||
