Chinese and Japanese are the most complicated languages, in my opinion.

I was recently watching a documentary about China, and at one point they were talking about words and their phonetics and I was surprised to find that there is a word 

 that, depending on the intonation, means something different

something similar to what I tried to represent with my example.
