Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The6 l5 i9 ?8 X" D2 q9 h, Y$ e2 h
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the* k5 ?" C) m/ V/ [3 M8 I) ]* R
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,3 R' x; G8 _3 z9 j' @& _1 A" T
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial+ C+ F7 `1 Q3 x% `' ?
