Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The% Q! {' t3 Y; H6 J4 {
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the" `8 [6 C9 M$ ]1 {4 C6 v
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
i* P. S& X4 y' B: |and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
