Abstract
Otomi should be considered a tone language. Pike and Sinclair prefer to set up three lexical tonemes, and this viewpoint is reflected in publications by Andrews, Wallis, and Bartholomew. Leon and Swadesh, along with Eckler, argue for a system of stresses in which tones are morphological devices.L I shall give immediately my motivation for considering the second proposal superior. The gross phonetic facts seem to be these: there are two register tones: high and low, plus a glide from mid to low-high. Sinclair
