Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
2 ?3 ?5 i, I; ~, KInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the" s: V# ^9 e: `. k: I) @* j
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,% j. K }1 x0 O d' P9 G/ {: o
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial; C. \5 U$ [6 ?5 { l4 p8 y: A
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of( s& ^0 y8 m8 S7 l5 a/ c6 V
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
