Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
# ^' f) K) p* I- _1 j3 \6 o" ZInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the, t0 f& \: \: ?5 I2 [
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
- R6 s7 ~ d1 i# a1 a, H3 land uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial, H+ t7 \2 `! z f; V
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
