Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The1 a/ Z0 G+ k7 p6 r- w) L2 {
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
, `# |( D, C: j2 k8 ~4 fsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,( k' ^- c, d5 ]; U- r7 J
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial2 w0 \/ |5 c% H% v* a: [
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (= l! @# r) A3 N' ]3 f0 ]+ s% ~
