Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
9 J( D7 p, @ ~7 uInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
& ?" X. u; f& A# A4 r$ Isyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,* ?! @( J) b: v) E" p
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial; K& Q+ i0 E( c- v$ ^$ j
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
