Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
6 j# {* g! U5 A) l) \! qInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the! I! \0 n! ~: [+ ^8 W
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,4 ^+ t, k- E9 F
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
