Actually, Ithkuil has five tones, as described (and illustrated with sound
files) in Sec. 1.3.2 of the grammar. No nasal vowels, however. There was
a period during the course of developing the phonology when Ithkuil had
pharyngealized vowels, then later on, breathy-voiced vowels. But they did
not survive the final implementation.
