The tonal accent becomes a pitch accent, with low rising becoming high-low, mid becoming unaccented, high level becoming high, low level becoming low.

How the fuck do you have a pitch accent on a monosyllabic language?

I've usually understood the pitches of monosyllabic words with short vowels operate relative to the pitches of preceding and following syllables.
