Default Rise in pitch at the end of every sentence

No its called a dialect.


Nope, dialects are different.

Some people talk in monotones and sound
a bit like a 20 year old speech synth.


Neither of those are dialects.

Why do some people raise their voice at the end of every sentence?
It sounds like they're asking a question. Glaswegians and Australians
are particularly bad for it. Are they unsure of everything they say and
are seeking confirmation?
