Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The z: @1 h/ s& a- v. p2 ?
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the( ?3 S V% H- ~
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
2 g6 E# e0 K6 X8 Iand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
