Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The$ o: d- r2 \( d+ w- G
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the% _% {) T$ V2 ]) P+ W8 e, j' g& D
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,. A) D: |6 |# s- f6 w
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial$ L* W- ]6 f3 |+ z8 j
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
( C% T- [# z, s8 w5 @& ?: bretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
