Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
& d' ?2 Y6 t2 `) ~# i0 @" HInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
8 \/ H. P* g# bsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,7 m( E$ A8 S7 X: }) `4 N4 M9 w
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial; M T5 c. X1 |4 b/ ^) K+ c) k

A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
