It’s got different tones, I know that

None of the 4 tones of the pinyin “long” even sound like “long” in English. I mean the “o” does not represent the same sound.
Sorry if I sound like I’m trying to start a debate for no reason, but as a native Mandarin speaker, it kinda triggers my OCD xD

Lóng… Long… It sounds very similar
