Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The* s0 L4 P& _' s5 r! ]) g
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
6 j0 `" x* ]- N& M, e* Lsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
% d6 ^, ?, k. o& dand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

, ?; X% Y( i T' tretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).' R) ~+ ^6 t* q8 L
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
