Similar syllables pronounced with different tones in Min Nan.
東黨棟督同黨洞獨
The phrase is misleading in the use of 黨/党 (tóng) as an example for tone six (陽上/阳上). In dialects that distinguish tones six (陽上/阳上) and seven (陽去/阳去), 黨/党 (tóng) belongs to tone two. There is also another form of this phrase including the sixth tone by replacing the second 黨/党 (tóng) with 動/动 (tǒng).
