Languages that raise the tone or register of sentences to imply expressions. The effect is to change the meaning of the sentence while the actual sentence itself remains the same. So languages like all dialects of Chinese/Thai/some Korean dialects will change the register of their voice to imply questions or agreements i.e. in Korean the word 'Neh' will illustrate your agreement, but it could just as well be a question if you raise your tone.
