Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
7 z% d; @3 \) j2 {' \" V) AInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
& Q8 F" A/ W' Y3 O) w# ysyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,. s) X2 h. {! ^1 \1 \3 N
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
