Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
: |3 K+ v% ]) Z ~( XInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the _# N7 G9 R$ i
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,$ s3 T8 o) [ x z) r
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial9 W( ]; H( v2 `9 w( R
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of7 I: _. s4 z$ \' H, Z; }
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).3 V1 Y2 q4 f/ d) o% }2 c
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
