    What language has the most tones?
    The most widely spoken tonal language is Chinese, though it is important to note that Chinese itself divides into hundreds of local dialects and languages, not all of which are spoken in Chinese. The tones of Shanghainese are similar to those of “Standard” Chinese (Mandarin), which has four tones, though Cantonese has more.

For example, in Afrikaans, the voiced consonants /b d/ cause a lower pitch than the voiceless consonants /p t k/. But younger speakers are starting to lose the voicing distinction, so they pronounce /b d/ as /p t/, but the pitch difference remains.
