===Intonation===

Tíogall usually follows the following intonation paradigm. (Within said paradigm, some accents can sound like a stereotypical Cork accent, while some accents sound more like Valspeak.)

*In declarative sentences, the pitch is mostly flat; the stressed syllable of the focus word has a lower pitch than the rest of the sentence. This originates from discursive uptalk in older forms of Tíogall, which has since generalized to all declarative sentences.

*In declarative sentences, the pitch is mostly flat; the stressed syllable of the focus word has a lower pitch than the rest of the sentence. (''...mid LOW-mid...'') This originates from discursive uptalk in older forms of Tíogall, which has since generalized to all declarative sentences.

*In interrogative sentences, the pitch is also mostly flat; the stressed syllable of the focus word has a higher pitch than the rest of the sentence.

*In interrogative sentences, the pitch is also mostly flat; the stressed syllable of the focus word has a higher pitch than the rest of the sentence. (''... mid HIGH mid ... ?'')

*In exclamations, the pattern is ''... mid LOW-HIGH mid...!'', possibly with a gradual drop to low pitch in the end.

*In exclamations, the pattern is ''... mid LOW-HIGH mid ... !'', possibly with a gradual drop to low pitch in the end.
