Lucht, Ramona. 1978. "Siane tone orthography." Notes on Literacy. Interest level: specialist.

Summary
 

Concludes that first analysis of Siane tone shows four emic tones:

 
  • High
  • Low
  • Falling
  • Rising
 

Wonders how to symbolize those tones in the orthography. Studied the syllable dynamics and came out with a different analysis of the tone system. Says there are only two tones, high and low, with the falling and rising tonemes as combinations of these two tones.
