Mandarin text-to-speech lives or dies on tone: it has four lexical tones plus a neutral tone, and getting the contour wrong turns "mā" (mother) into "mǎ" (horse), so the model must predict pitch per syllable, not just per sentence. Tone sandhi adds another layer — for example two third tones in a row shift the first to a rising tone, and the words "一" (yī) and "不" (bù) change tone depending on what follows. Because Hanzi carry no spaces and many characters are polyphonic (多音字), high-quality Chinese synthesis depends heavily on word segmentation and grapheme-to-phoneme disambiguation from context.
