Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
8 R: G8 f/ Q" N+ G4 D. \Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
5 f( g7 K4 _) U, x3 Vsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
q$ r0 B- {/ kand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial, ^( E6 b% }6 d5 _; X
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
3 P) a7 j' a: C0 z3 j$ }retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).! ~9 d. G8 d3 z, _% |
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
