Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
8 M0 a! C. T; c; t G# b; t9 TInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
! O1 W" N0 z9 D- R U, msyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
: D8 Z6 A5 B+ ]* Zand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial% U ?! o+ A1 {$ n. Q- J' p% F; Y
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
! L x7 ^0 r" F) Z1 x6 C2 S, g& q4 aretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).. v8 ~4 {3 ?) k
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=6 d$ o' K: l8 N: O9 v; E a" v
[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]
