Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The" f0 v; K6 R, y3 d- P; h
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the, C$ B- D0 Z$ R! e" H5 y
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
3 G: p/ R4 _' }4 n; v5 kand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial& g$ a9 g* z& a* C
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of4 y' j7 ~% l* @5 H& Q9 h
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).# y, a8 q% {2 P( H* p. Q8 j$ e* _
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
