J'avoue que ne sais pas vraiment. Que veut dire "tone merger" ?
Un "ton" en français est soit une teinte de couleur soit une manière de s'exprimer. Je ne pense donc pas que ce soit correct.

@Aaron1D oui j’essaie de parler des chose que j’ai apprises à la fac, excusez-moi. le chinois c’est une langue tonale, donc dans son histoire le système de tons a changé plusieurs fois, que l’on appelle un « tone merger » ou « tone change ». il n’y a pas vraiment de mot ?

@wvtram J'ai fait quelques recherches et on dit apparemment un ton. Je ne connaissais pas ce système, ça fait de la culture générale en plus !
