Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The7 ?5 y- L6 ~$ p- k$ e
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the! x6 U( _- p6 v
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,6 ?4 ?* z; \# [0 f1 S+ R
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial' M. S3 _: E8 k1 p: ^
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of' U$ i8 Z6 p6 [, Z) k
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).& R" \) X; y. b$ w: Z/ {
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=/ r% X/ R* ]8 F/ C2 v9 y1 w
[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]) C( |! R7 c% v, Y+ x. |
(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving
