The dissertation investigates the mutations of initial consonants and their phonological effects on the main syllable, resulting in the formation of the two vowel systems in the Khmer language, and the tonogenesis in the Cham language (chapter 4).
The tonogenesis in Ma, a Mon-Khmer language, also is investigated (chapter 4) to illustrate an special way by which an atonal language can become a tonal one in the South Indochina area.
The dissertation investigates the tonogenesis in Ma, a South Bahnaric language.

 Tibetan language - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
In the 9th century, as shown by the bilingual Tibeto-Chinese treaty of 821-822 found in front of Lhasa's Jokhang, the complex initial clusters had already been reduced, and the process of tonogenesis was likely well underway.
Already in the 9th century the process of cluster simplification, devoicing and tonogenesis had begun in the central dialects can be shown with Tibetan words transliterated in other languages, particularly Middle Chinese but also Uighur.
Since at least around the 7th century when the Chinese came into contact with the Tibetans, phonetics and grammar of Tibetan have been studied and documented.

This study is an investigation of the phonetic and phonological aspects of the relationship between segment types and tone in Korean (Seoul and Jeonnam dialects) and English.
The phonetic effects of initial consonants on F0 and the phonological behavior of these consonants led to the postulation of a tonogenesis hypothesis for Korean.
The acoustic and perceptual findings are interpreted as evidence that Korean is undergoing tonogenesis: voiceless (aspirated and tense) consonants correlate with H(L) and voiced (lax, sonorant, and glottal ieung)consonants with LH(L).

 Konferansesammendrag
In accounts for tonogenesis, it is common to assume that some distinction plays a role.
A case like this is the difference in F0 pitch on the vowel following a voiced or voiceless obstruent in South East Asian tonogenesis (a).
The example here is Franconian (d), where it is assumed that tonogenesis can take place as a remedy the threat of this scenario, alternatively as a remedy to the situation itself.

I was interested in (a) the phonetics of the actual process of tonogenesis; (b) phonological theories which took account of tonogenesis.
On the subject of the phonetics of tonogenesis, the major reference is: Hombert, Jean-Marie, John J. Ohala and William G. Ewan, 1979, Phonetic explanations for the development of tones.
I also received a number of other references to tonogenesis, most of them case studies and reconstructions of tonogenesis in specific areas (most SE Asia).

 Chan and Tai: A Critical Review of Norman's Chinese (1989) [Part B]
In the past, it was assumed that a language which was tonal must always have been so since inception, and that tonal and non-tonal languages could not be genetically related.
Established scholars such as Fang-kuei Li (1971) did not subscribe to the theory for the Old Chinese period, but he was willing to consider the possibility that the four tones in Chinese had evolved from differences in final consonants at an earlier stage of the language.
While N finds the theory of tonogenesis very attractive, he deems it overly schematic in its present form (57).

 John Benjamins:
Our most widely-used model of tonogenesis is Haudricourt’s 1954 classic analysis of Vietnamese tonogenesis.
This paper examines Vietnamese evidence and this dominant model of tonogenesis, arguing that the Haudricourt analysis should be updated, replacing its segmentally-driven model by a laryngeally-based model, incorporating the effects of voice-quality distinctions.
Of equal importance, the model appears to provide significant insights into tonogenesis in Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, that is, the applicability model is not restricted to any particular geographical area.

 Word Accents and Tones in Sentence Perspective: Abstracts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Theories about Scandinavian tonogenesis converge on the fact that it is the question of a post-lexical phenomenon that becomes lexical, rather than a phonemic lexical distinction (phonation) shifting expression in some context, as in South East Asian tonogenesis.
Commonly, it is assumed that the number of syllables comes to occasion different melodies depending on whether or not there are syllables after the primary stressed syllable, before the end of the word (phrase).
Presentday accent 2 in compounds is deeply and demonstrably dependent on stress, rather than number of syllables, and in my view this ought to play a role in the analysis of tonogenesis in Scandinavian, or be fully accounted for otherwise.

 Vietnamese language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It seems likely that in the distant past Vietnamese shared more characteristics common to other languages in the Austroasiatic family, such as an inflectional morphology and a richer set of consonant clusters, which have subsequently disappeared from the language.
However, Vietnamese appears to have been heavily influenced by its location in the Southeast Asian sprachbund—with the result that it has acquired or converged toward characteristics such as isolating morphology and tonogenesis.
The Vietnamese language has similarities with Cantonese in regard to the specific intonations and unreleased plosive consonant endings, a legacy of archaic Chinese that can also be found in Korean.

Another Look at Velar Lenition and Tonogenesis in Jabêm, pp.
Malcolm Ross's (1988, 1993) account of tonogenesis in Jabêm, an Austronesian language in the Huon Gulf region of Papua New Guinea, posits an unconditioned phonemic split, with reversal of velar lenition in half the members of a correspondence set involving Proto-Oceanic *k and (nonfinal) *q.
However, closer scrutiny of the Jabêm evidence casts doubt not just on this particular analysis of tonogenesis within Jabêm, but also on broader appeals to reversal of lenition to account for obstruent correspondences in the languages of western Melanesia.
