No. English is not a tonal language. French is unaccented. Every syllable is pronounced the same. Spanish has accents. Some syllables have more stress. Spoken English has accented or stressed syllables like Spanish. While English will stress a syllable, it does not change tone to distinguish between words. Changes in pitch in spoken English are used to emphasize certain words with a lowering in pitch used to indicate the ending of a declarative sentence. The raising of pitch indicates the end of a question.
