Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The4 F/ q# D C2 F) J! C1 v
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the7 j4 Z$ K, g2 }" c) Q% D
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,/ c+ U7 I% q; [ U: f
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
