That's right, Japanese has pitch accent, but as I recall, it wildly
varies between cities, with some cities having near-monotonous pitch
accent...

/háSi/ chopsticks
/haSí/ bridge

both written same in syllabary, but different in kanji.

And I have no experience with Serbo-Croat, but I think it is a pitch-
accent language, apparently with rising and falling pitch, on
stressed and unstressed syllables.
