Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
8 {, \; h% i8 X l8 S1 FInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the; H* v# T* O* u; Z
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,6 _0 K6 B# l* f$ c3 I
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial- y. ]8 T' Z, W+ u, X7 p' R+ Z

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).* k0 u9 A# \, ?& ^& o1 v
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
