Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
) {7 F8 ]( s; j1 yInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
! Z( T+ t: Z5 T1 ksyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,9 `( d) C5 {1 J. y' d9 s5 j
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial- G1 K9 F1 F: R3 N$ N
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of8 _$ T- ~2 |1 E5 N% y. i/ }
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).: P7 z t7 y; C% m- t
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=3 p8 x5 i, a P! R
[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]
