Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
C3 L" y I' M0 S2 |4 S* gInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the; o$ W; B% ]- B6 h% `% L$ k; q
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,; q: q5 x4 D* m. ^, O* h* S4 W
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
7 P o; Q7 d6 AA Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=

(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving# _: T! `8 {. v( w9 Z" k: o$ J
