    This is true in all Chinese languages when spoken normally but Mandarin (unlike Cantonese) ignores tone in singing. Pretty sure the name is Mandarin

      When people say Chinese, it’s almost implied to be Mandarin. You are correct in both singing and that I was referring to mandarin. Technically mandarin and canto are both dialects of Chinese. Mandarin is just the official dialect
