    • Mok et al. (2013) conducted a similar experiment on 28 speakers from Hong Kong. They used predictive discriminant analysis to analyse the experimental data, and at the same time, they measured the speakers' reaction time, but they did not find that the tones are completely merged. Thus, Mok et al. (2013) noted that speakers of Hong Kong Cantonese still had 6 tones, but it is just that their tonal range has become narrower.
