Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
) y, n# _/ }8 Z9 ]Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
# u' i5 I9 y4 hsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
9 p8 D2 D E2 i* O, l! mand 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’). b$ F0 \. ^& `6 P1 Q
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=: [" c/ O |- K/ d9 O
