ToneCori is known for having six distinct levels of tone, too many to transcribe using the International Phonetic Alphabet, which allows five. However, there are only three underlying tones: 1 ({{sm|top}}), 4 ({{sm|mid}}), and 6 ({{sm|bottom}}), which are all that need to be written for literacy. Most cases of Tone 2 ({{sm|high}}) are a result of tone sandhi, with 4 becoming 2 before 1. Tones 3 ({{sm|mid-high}}) and 5 ({{sm|low}}) can be analysed as contour tones, with underlying {{IPA|/1͡6/}} realised as {{IPA|[3]}} and {{IPA|/2͡6/}} realised as {{IPA|[5]}}. In order to transcribe the surface tones without numerals (which are ambiguous), an extra diacritic is needed, as is common for four-level languages in Central America: 1 {{IPA|[ő]}} ({{sm|top}}) 2 {{IPA|[ó]}} ({{sm|high}}) 3 {{IPA|[o̍]}} ({{sm|mid-high}}) 4 {{IPA|[ō]}} ({{sm|mid}}) 5 {{IPA|[ò]}} ({{sm|low}}) 6 {{IPA|[ȍ]}} ({{sm|bottom}}) References
