Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The# m: W6 \! i3 D- Q3 t* t
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
$ c7 G+ ]9 Q7 q4 x4 ~' Ksyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,* Y0 m$ H" s' u7 x2 I2 P
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
