Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The- k6 ^2 w$ ^% v, m
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
# G! @. k( K& V& B3 _/ j9 G8 T3 z5 x" lsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,0 H7 p! ]7 d' v7 I( ^- ^, W3 ?
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

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