Like Mandarin Chinese (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tonal

(Other definitions for tonal that I've seen before include "Like music that uses keys" , "Relating to conventional keys and harmonies" , "of pitch" , "Alton (anag.)" , "style of music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Universal.
