Traditional Chinese phonology divides the syllable into an Initial and Final. The. h! ?( G( [* d ]) d# e" C6 U
Initial is the way a syllable begins, usually with a consonant. The Final is the# T' n+ C9 R$ i! K
syllable minus the Initial. For example, in ta, chi, jin, chuang, the Finals are a, i, in,
( J l7 f) h) z2 H# J" }and uang, respectively. The longest form of a Final consists of three parts: a medial) K3 V; N* z: m" G" u
(or: semivowel), a main vowel (or: head vowel), and an ending (or, in the case of" K1 C* q% \. a+ Z2 L w
