Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
( \( h5 V8 x7 A1 X5 V. s8 TInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the

and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
