Chinese language

A slang term referring English as tonal language (read: the language where the tone and the intonation influence the meaning of a sentence), e.g. "You want to eat." v.s. "You want to eat?"
I never realized English could be like a Chinese language until I heard someone ask, 'You want to eat?' with such different tones—turns out it totally changes the meaning!
