Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
+ V& d" P: _ x" ^Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
& P- C0 o- s2 y! Q# m" D/ w$ Psyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,* L6 E; r9 v Q& F
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
