Information source and comments on the tonal status of the language
Gruntov, Ilya & Olga Mazo. 2019. Mongghul, Mangghuer and beyond: estimating the proximity. Voprosy Jazykogo Rodstva 17(3). 210-232: Mangghuer seems to be the only Mongolic language that has tones in native words. Dwyer (2008) discovered that several pairs of homophones differ in tones: one of the members of a pair is pronounced with a high tone, another with a low tone, e.g. a. wulang [ʷu22lã55] ‘drinking’ b. wulang [ʷu11lã51] ‘many’ (Dwyer 2008: 128). Dwyer, Arienne M. 2008. Tonogenesis in Southeastern Monguor. In: Harrison, K. David, David Rood, Arienne Dwyer (eds.). Lessons from documented endangered languages. Typological Studies in Language 78: 111–128. Am- sterdam: John Benjamins.
