Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
( H, c% D+ {: H+ sInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
- `( O7 {8 ~2 csyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,1 @# m5 i, i% y' z7 @
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
