Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
! N. X H7 B) _+ D- a, W, NInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
" E5 n5 E. }+ ssyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
+ I8 N. Z- \+ C6 i( @and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
" G8 t9 \+ H8 h2 P3 h% Q(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of+ ^. q" S' @$ n* p1 ^! N$ o
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).- C! i# j; g( L: a: V9 v; y5 t
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=+ j) r& a3 O0 s- s9 o
[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]) s4 ]* u0 L8 a7 `6 `6 M$ E
(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving" H5 Z: c7 U* ], ]# ^
retroflex suffixes are not counted). As a result of these very severe restrictions on$ g5 r' u) {+ O! }
