Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The+ m+ i0 Q( v" n8 R: G5 ~
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the: [: e. Z7 y) s7 Q$ @1 j& g) Y
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
: S9 u; z- J c4 @6 V5 Dand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial5 W6 x8 S- F( ?$ _ s$ N
