The dotted tone letters Template:Angbr IPA are used for the pitch of neutral tones, while the reversed tone letters Template:Angbr IPA and neutral Template:Angbr IPA are used for tone sandhi. Template:Angbr IPA are modifier letters used in Ozumacín Chinantec. Template:Angbr IPA are the IPA modifier letters for upstep and downstep, while Template:Angbr IPA are substitutes people used before broad font support of the IPA, and still preferred by some.
