Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
7 `9 j9 j, U) ~+ ]Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
W7 a) T' f3 c' F5 Bsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in, z- ]& P2 ]# b' D) d+ v
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).; u! A# M3 ~+ o6 z% m2 U& g
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=. E' r7 w S8 R6 {/ d9 V

(Initial) nor in the coda (Final). Onset clusters can maximally have a length of two
