Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
* o9 L1 S; G0 V! B$ L- x6 ]Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the! d7 p4 X& w; `. x4 D) r: }3 d
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,; o' b6 H$ v- o& |4 a& F
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
