Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
" Y' A: z- A- S* C. E+ SInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the( E1 q7 n, x( Z1 X3 y
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
& g0 E& g( K7 m C; Z9 band uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial' e M* ~* Y, B2 _- ]
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
9 g$ C' _ V- D1 `4 X* b; Aretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
