Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The* G1 L1 b7 K. E& C) U7 _' s- `! e
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! I3 z. ~7 ~) }/ L: m. L
