Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
' G& e- R- `% f( L% _Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the' ^( a7 _* G8 h* y0 I, D
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
/ z7 h( z* {; {& X g- Zand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial" Y1 q2 C& S3 r7 z U) O2 T
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
