Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
. r$ _) q1 k& f% EInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
+ p; u( \1 ?# ?% w1 M! Ksyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
p/ k/ \( y: u6 x/ Qand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
