How to read the curves Pitch is drawn on the 5-level scale linguists use for tones (1 = your lowest, 5 = your highest). A break in the line means a glottal catch, a short closure in the throat. A bar at the end means the sound is cut off. Press Record and your own pitch appears as a dashed blue line, scaled to your voice (it calibrates over your first few takes). Hỏi and ngã are distinct in the North; in Saigon they merge.
