Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The) ?3 O5 q( {! r/ o8 G$ T5 V4 x
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the

and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial$ Z: S2 K* z. d7 ^
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of- v) [7 F* S; T+ A" N
