you could as well assume that English is a tonal language

but if it's just a matter of accent. Italian or Spanish are also tonal languages:
hablo /hablò
parlo/parlò
pero però and so on

I would ween that it is no more easier for an Icelander to learn Fijian, and guilt gainward, being that they are both non-tonal languages.
