- The relationship between Mora-timed languages, long vowels and . . .
The following linguistic forum also recognizes that Lithuanian is a Mora-timed language, just like classical Latin, Greek, Sanskrit and Japanese Therefore, in Balto-Slavo-Germanic, are there more Mora-timed languages (whether historical or modern)? My second doubt is the relationship between Mora-timed and quantitative verse

- syllables - Is Swahili a Mora-counting language like Japanese . . .
So, is swahili (and many other Bantu languages) actually mora-counting language?? I mean, I wonder if we can always define morae consistently in Swahili or not It seems like the concept of morae is required to describe accent patterns in swahili, in my opinion But how do you guys think?
- Does Japanese always emphasize the first syllable?
The pitch may fall across both morae, or mostly on one or the other (depending on the sequence of sounds)—that is, the first mora may end with a high falling pitch, or the second may begin with a (low) falling pitch, but the first mora will be considered accented regardless The Japanese describe this as 頭高 atamadaka (literally, "head-high")
