Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
. _ Y. p W8 F- c" e6 ~4 oInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the* m) g3 M% u4 { D/ `# a4 k
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=' n+ g6 e; k4 c, t8 h
