Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
; y+ |4 S) k5 t6 [4 R4 Z" MInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
# N$ S. ?2 h1 O' m" U' L! isyllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,2 s/ F9 ~0 l* U5 g6 @$ j/ p. o4 Q
and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial) B- {, D( T0 a6 L) B4 ?5 |: \8 @

retroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
