Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
; j- a- q0 F& ?7 i5 X) PInitial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the

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’).& M: ^- o* d/ f4 W
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=8 L* T) e; K1 R
