Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The; E+ _0 N0 d0 B1 i
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the- t+ e9 a3 Z, L
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
, h+ S5 ]( D5 `9 A* U$ e* z! Oand uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial

$ @7 Z1 F f1 p! Tretroflex suffixes, sometimes two endings, as in the er-sound ming’er ‘tomorrow’)./ G3 D! A- O- `7 z
A Final in Mandarin comprises one of four medials: º (empty), /i/, /u/, or /iu/ (=% O/ T4 @& V5 g$ _& P
