Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The; ]# j) A' Z9 S% s$ `
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the2 p' J5 s3 y, S
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in," J4 l u3 ]% x) U
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial4 S1 _% X! m" `
(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/ (=. o9 A' [" D( c7 g6 K2 u. [
