Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
+ C) J |6 e* g( r( l" v, jInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the5 q& }8 h, k4 B0 J9 `
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,

(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=9 e7 H$ ` C* W# [& q0 [4 T
