Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
, G X z1 K. X+ B* fInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the. D" ~. ]9 M3 c0 _: s9 G7 y: q3 a5 A
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,3 ^9 ]/ }5 i, w5 }
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial( D8 V! H* |! J/ {- T0 D$ O. |
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of3 U. N& E4 X, E- A2 u. w
retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’)." r/ h; u5 e+ j9 F
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=
