Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The% W8 Y3 }! A" V+ Q! ~
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
. g5 ~, ]1 E! A+ _% `syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,. A y. m5 @) L/ ?% b
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial8 N0 c' z( I$ b$ x
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
