Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
* f7 `+ |' I+ Z7 g3 Q$ r+ F+ SInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
& y( _7 K- L6 l7 }' l8 L6 jsyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,: u0 M% [, k, ^ p& O1 a
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial* H- B7 z; @' u9 l6 u" o6 t
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of' e2 k; o. T% z. E! |
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’)." M6 G8 {# l/ \4 b9 D; p) S
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=

(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving* f A4 p1 `' d% @7 |. r

(Initial) nor in the coda (Final). Onset clusters can maximally have a length of two
