Theasphere languages in the year 4000 are mostly monosyllabic tonal languages, with the exception of Qocwane. Because many languages in this area historically had three stop phonations and four types of codas (A, B, C, D as is typical of tonal languages in our timeline's Sinosphere), 9 (as in Alliance Neo-Thean) to 12 (as in Qua) is a typical number of tones. Bri, a ceremonial language of the Mwail British Isles, is known for having 24 tones, from six initial phonations (prenasalized, plain x tenuis, voiced, glottalized) and four types of finals. On the other extreme, Danishmandi (the majority language of the continental Nordic region) only has 4 tones.
