Comments

Mandarin Chinese has four tones. The first tone is a flat, high tone. The second tone is a rising tone. The third tone first falls a little and then rises. The fourth tone is a falling tone.

Examples

			a(21) = 421 because the characters in the Chinese word for 21, "er shi yi", are pronounced with the fourth, second and first tone, respectively.
