Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
! w8 C7 D4 E8 Z; z( f( H1 D8 o1 hInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
# w: q: S! K4 O, w9 Osyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
1 L/ N- z; n a7 P6 Rand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
* a' P: Q# L5 n; v4 r(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
" O" ~$ n" ?" ?: V2 l6 jretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).. `7 w& b& y0 [8 c F% B2 U0 p/ x3 |
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=8 N6 Z7 A4 D" n; c) ]
