There are 4 pitches.
High pitch, medium high, medium low, low, flat, rising or falling. When you hear 
cantonese or mandarin, it all sound like random noises and buzzings. At times, 
it don't even sound like any king of language at all.
The various arabic languages are also prety strange sounding, when you don't 
speak them.
