Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
& {0 i. r# ]$ QInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
4 l& k2 Z3 W5 u1 usyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
3 M! Q. ^+ z. i# S3 Uand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
4 Y; U H& c% r+ v# [; k1 z! E(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of2 U9 ]% i' P. F- |5 l9 f T }3 A
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
. _/ z# ]* C' e5 e# IA Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=1 }/ u- {8 U; N; ?" J* S0 i
[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]% n v0 v1 F- \" b( H8 N
(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving
