Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
$ X1 F: t6 r; [& ]Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
5 ]' j2 ~$ U+ S5 z' o8 Bsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,. F/ p7 ~+ `. _; P# l
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
3 a/ x# `2 x2 _5 z; \$ B: L(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of4 y: V+ O/ C' F" m; M% _
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).# A5 J0 D U: ~! _6 H
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
