Thank you very much for pointing out that my comment might sound rude. oops!!!!

You might as well just replace “we” with “you” if you want to be rude. I certainly don’t do that, do you?

To answer this question, first, we should be clear about the defination of tonal language or non-tonal language.
I don't think it's necessary to do so here, as it could be easily done by typing "tonal languages" in google, to see what will come out.
But the problem I have here is that WHY we, as teachers, could tell our students something we don't know or understand?? I am not being funny or mean, but it does not look so professional.
Have a good day
