Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
1 Y9 H. r. l$ ^( [) \' h( xInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the1 m* \, N; u: `! K0 T
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,. L$ h. q. {$ x2 ~" o
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial# P7 E# ~+ d+ T) Q n
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of2 `+ C' m7 ^, J. h
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
