Japanese pitch accent
Japanese pitch accent is an important part of the prosody of Japanese, which involves making a certain melody with a series of "high" and "low" pitches, or tones, on a given utterance. Pitch accent is contrastive and can help distinguish words in Japanese, similarly to stress accent in English and contour tones in Chinese. The most studied accent system is of the Tokyo dialect, which differs from other systems such as Kansai or Kyushu.
