Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
3 H" M1 r$ a! e& L4 TInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the# u6 |* _0 h$ @8 q+ k
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
9 g" v' b8 g8 z9 Cand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).3 X) y8 ^+ w8 B8 H
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
