Compared to Standard Chinese (Mandarin)

From Standard Chinese phonology#Relationship between Middle Chinese and modern tones, the four main tones are:

  • 1. ym-pviaa 陰平 (55)
  • 2. ioong-pviaa 陽平 (25)
  • 3. siorng 上 (21)
  • 4. khix 去 (52)

In brackets: common realization of pitch contour.

The "entering tone" (入聲, jibsviaf):

  • does not have predictable reflexes in modern Chinese
  • disappeared from most Mandarin dialects
