Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The; b0 @8 S! f5 _1 O" G5 d& d
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the1 Z% p! f* z* ~, e3 P$ V/ _
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in, a* T4 m+ C2 |6 X7 r* q& d3 K7 a
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
