Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
- T. p9 L9 g. \ j& q1 r6 fInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the+ o& `7 k$ D2 h- X( [
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,- l( }& O4 W% b9 q" H# s
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial
