Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The
7 l9 s+ Z9 s+ @Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the
5 a' C' B( z! X! w* @/ }; A; X$ ]syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
3 a% M6 d% @) M+ b' Pand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial6 p8 \5 S" E; Y3 o
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of
$ i# g5 {5 a9 A1 C3 L. R6 Hretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’).
