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
