Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
/ X% ?( I" D4 M# B* zInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the3 g; F3 S# d: Z! w5 i% _
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,- F: K9 N" n7 v" y
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
