Editing Koasati language (section)

===Tone===
Koasati has low [ ` ], high [ ´ ], and high rising–falling [ ˇ ] [[pitch accent]]s, as well as a fourth unmarked mid-level tone. All noun roots must have one high-pitch accented syllable. The location of the accent depends on the properties of the penultimate syllable. With a few exceptions, the accent falls on the final syllable unless the penultimate syllable contains a long vowel. These pitch accents can be contrastive, as with ''sakihpǫ́'' 'It is a mink.' and ''sakíhpǫ'' 'It is not air-dried.'. Pitch placement on verbs is motivated by morphology. Most indicative verbs take the high accent, though a few take the low accent. Intensive verbs take the high rising–falling accent.
