Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
% D( B. W3 I, {5 a1 x( k* pInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
) ~1 v& {; [' K* N! Psyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,, v, {( J y8 n0 N0 }; Z
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial3 {9 h& d1 Y0 i% z
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of# h+ u: u7 @3 |( {; H
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).5 z e q! }6 P. H* O, }
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
