Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The

syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=5 l: }2 M7 j4 I) l c2 {

(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving- ~2 D4 D1 k" G9 b
