tone language
A tone language is a type of language where the use of pitch (or tone) in the pronunciation of words plays a significant role. Changes in tone can differentiate meanings of words that are otherwise identical in terms of their consonant and vowel composition. Many languages in East Asia and Africa, such as Chinese, Thai, and Yoruba, are notable examples of tone languages.
