Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
, \: p( X! w. @" kInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the+ @! x6 s3 s8 M1 f0 o
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
5 d! P; x' \$ |/ E l& |; ~and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial* i4 ~2 m7 d( \6 {
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
( M6 z) V0 P G0 D3 oretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).8 m& [2 ?! T1 p$ `6 t) Z" j# a
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
