Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The4 A* T! `' v: p: }3 ?; y
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the5 l, p- Z! S5 }
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,* w3 V; H- L+ @0 N* U6 z/ |( _4 H- g
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial* l6 u/ L9 E7 R; I* ?
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
