Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
4 e' l( A! b' rInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the u7 R5 T$ {* A! Y2 W% `
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
8 A, b& G7 D6 Y5 \' @! r1 m; Oand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial/ G6 K7 Z0 d, i& f1 M$ }

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=0 [; ?1 ]" T4 P; }/ j' x& `$ L
[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]1 n( P3 @3 \$ J. i
