You should edit this with a note at the top that this is emotional tone and not pronunciation, as Gallifreyan is not a tonal language. It's a great article! I just don't want anyone to get confused.

In gallifreyan, markers are used to indicate tone and emotion. This is useful when it comes to written text, and for those who cannot either hear or distinguish tones of voice.
Sarcasm - ðɑ
Exclamation - ji
Exaggeration - ðɛ
Question - lo
Neutral (toneless) - do
Emotions:
Sadness - ʍo
Anger - b'ɐ
Confusion - ɾɛ
Tiredness (numbness) - ʍu
Joy - vu
Fear - ʔo
These markers are used after the verb (barring the exaggeration one, which is used before the word that is exaggerated, unless the entire sentence is exaggerated) in a sentence to indicate the tone used. In following sentences it is assumed to be the same tone until a new marker is used. To return to tonelessness, the neutral marker is used.
If more specificity is required, simply join add the more specific word to the marker to make one word.
You may use more than one marker, in which case just add them to each other to make one word.
The markers are used in both spoken and written gallifreyan, it is recommended to use them in conversations, personal journals, and that sort of thing, and it is uncommon for them to be used in historical records, formal writings, and other things like that. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
