Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The+ }6 x& t" `* F- k) u. Y* }
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the* m+ |6 N7 U* l; D+ A* ^; O
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
# s% ?9 e" `1 I! O6 f: p0 Wand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial; g7 k' ~* N+ E1 `+ V3 k6 }: |

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’)./ W2 [. L, T& \, Z
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=$ |% B- J; _8 L

(phonetically -r).13 Actually, there are only 40 different Finals (if Finals involving
