Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
. v, v" ^3 M0 MInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
4 ]6 D% D4 \ ]! usyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,/ I$ m! f# |( `! Y6 l7 \. }; |
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial6 a( s- Z+ f2 }+ F/ l* g) t% n
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of" A5 w- `7 }6 r( x! q' ^; u9 X
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
" v, ?7 f0 H# v# Q3 ?A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=8 f5 @" o8 c* d/ W3 K
[y], one of three vowels: /a/, /e/, or /o/, and one of six endings: º, -i, -u, -n, -N, and [”]6 h8 t8 }. A" M! ]
(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving3 b7 ^9 p1 i( C9 g; X
