Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The- t$ F2 g. @0 e8 j6 P" ?
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the

$ y# i+ ?8 X, m& ]' ]2 Z& |and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
