Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
1 R- S) V$ ~0 y- O2 uInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the$ |' a+ A( O: V3 A/ }
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,; |8 E/ P' A# y- x
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).2 U1 x9 t$ G" ^
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=) t3 N0 c; Q. d2 X8 ^
