Burmese has four tones. The tonal contrasts involve not only differences in pitch and vowel length but also differences in voice quality (clear, breathy or creaky). The presence or absence of a glottal stop at the end of a syllable is considered to be part of the tonal system.
1) low: long, low, clear voice.
2) high: long, high, sometimes breathy voice.
3) creaky: short, high, creaky voice (pronounced with tension or constriction in the throat).
4) checked: very short, mid-high, clear voice with final glottal stop (which shortens the duration of the vowel).
