Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
$ [1 H% D; x* r/ h% z& PInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the) S. r- w# x/ ^' |* H2 I5 B: |5 h
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
' O1 Z0 X& _- L+ w# y: Vand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial7 F, x* U8 Y4 j# x* r# \
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of- u c9 q: s5 e% Q p2 A% m
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’)." y' V# |$ P% N: R/ K2 u; [
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
