This template renders a pitch contour in the numerical tone notation of [[Yuen Ren Chao]] as an IPA [[tone letter]].

===Usage===
The template takes one positional parameter: {{tlx|Chinese tone letter|contour}}, where the pitch contour is specified as a string of up to three numbers in the range 1 to 5 (lowest to highest).
This is the convention for Chinese and other Asian languages; pitch numbers follow different conventions for African and meso-American languages.

For example, the four tones of [[Standard Chinese]] may be rendered as:
# {{tlx|Chinese tone letter|55}} → {{Chinese tone letter|55}}
# {{tlx|Chinese tone letter|35}} → {{Chinese tone letter|35}}
# {{tlx|Chinese tone letter|214}} → {{Chinese tone letter|214}}
# {{tlx|Chinese tone letter|51}} → {{Chinese tone letter|51}}
