@NativLang just think of it this way, listen to each word people introduce u in a tonal language and just think of it that it just* sounds that way. especially since there's no obvious organized pattern to which words are gonna have this and that specific tone. this is also how babies or children grow up learning tonal languages. dont needlessly scare yourself at the supposed number of tones whichever tonal language has. it's just a side detail on how this and that word is supposed to properly be said like so other homophones are definitely differentiated.
