Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
0 W6 Z, M0 b K5 ?. \Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
$ p" X, U. [) [; O% E1 ssyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,+ c8 }. r* a {
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial' }: a8 M3 d5 [
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
