I want to show in this paper that Ayizɔ, a Gbe dialect spoken in the southern part of Benin, has two underlying tones: H and L. The other tones, i.e., M, LH, HL, MH and HM, are realizations of these two tones. I shall demonstrate that the HL tone of nouns are derived through a H-Insertion-Rule, when the consonant is a voiceless obstruent; this high tone prevents the spreading of the prefix L tone through a voiceless obstruent. Interestingly, in this dialect, the application of the rules depends on the nature of the consonants. The LH tone is derived through a L-Spreading-Rule. The MH tone is derived through a M-Spreading rule, whereas the HM is derived through H-Insertion Rule and an assimilation rule of the final L tone. The M tone is an allotone of L in the environment of a H tone.
