Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
# C: H9 z0 r* k5 OInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
1 B- y. R0 b* w# I2 psyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
+ ?1 F. C8 Y P3 ^7 x/ H* Cand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
/ d2 p8 W, P' \( u/ q(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of3 U" }1 A2 r) E
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).! w" T; E& }: z' h3 ^4 y
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
% p [0 H* h: `! [6 r/ }: n[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]4 E, @ w6 r& N0 k/ j, o
(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving+ E2 v1 l3 b, x/ R
