Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The/ R8 T. H0 D5 E
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the) y: U- F3 U* l0 A! ^3 n' I' j& W
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
