The Tones

Mandarin Chinese has four tones, namely the first tone (flat or high level tone, 阴平, denoted by " ¯ " in Pinyin), the second tone (rising or high-rising tone, 阳平, denoted by " ˊ " in Pinyin), the third tone (falling-rising or low tone, 上声, denoted by " ˇ " in Pinyin), and the fourth tone (falling or high-falling tone, 去声, denoted by " ˋ " in Pinyin). Indeed, there is a fifth tone called neutral (轻声，denoted as no-mark in Pinyin) although the official name of the tones is Four Tones. Other Chinese dialects have more, for example, Cantonese has six (not nine: the other three are not "tones" in the English sense of the word). In most Western languages, tones are only used to express emphasis or emotion, not to distinguish meanings as in Chinese.
