Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The( m2 R" w+ _" j6 T+ K
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the7 y0 C8 T$ [. a$ u) `( A% I( c
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
